A pharmaceutical client harnesses the power of biotechnology, chemistry and genetic medicine while urgently advancing science to solve some of the world’s most significant health challenges. Client representatives needed to recapitalize the laboratory HVAC system in the building to improve its performance, efficiency and lifespan. The proposed improvements included a new high plume exhaust fan manifold, lab supply and exhaust air control valves and a series of new controls.
The previous HVAC system design was not energy efficient or reliable. This meant several elements of the system required significant upgrades to bring it up to the proposed standard. The implementation plan had to account for minimal disruptions to the current operations. The newly designed system would also help representatives achieve their energy goals while improving the overall laboratory environment.
MNA was able to provide the required expertise in laboratory HVAC systems and deliver the recapitalized laboratory project. Great care was taken to ensure that elevated communication and coordination occurred between the owner, contractor, and the engineer due to the sensitivity of the operations. The successful project results had minimal impacts on business operations as well as critical lab operations and ongoing experiments.
