WEST STADIUM MECHANICAL SYSTEM

Royal Engineering

OVERVIEW
System Selection Advantages Disadvantages Components Innovation Impact on Architectural Design

SYSTEM SELECTION
Originally proposed 3 different systems
Variable Refrigerant Flow
Environmental hazards Unfamiliarity

Air Handling Unit with Variable Air Volume

Consumes a lot of water Large Mechanical Equipment

Heat Pump
Need DOAS system

Expensive first cost

IMPLEMENTED SYSTEMS
AHU with VAV
Most familiarity Most control at zone levels
Suites

PTAC
Terrace Level
Elevator Lobbies Restrooms

ADVANTAGES
Zone control Electric or water heated Simultaneous heating and cooling Good ventilation Common system

DISADVANTAGES
Need boiler and chiller Need large mechanical room Consumes a lot of water Have to place cooling tower outside Involves both piping and ducting

OMNI OMNI-RS FLOWBAR

PTAC
Amana PTAC Air Conditioner
290 CFM

INNOVATIVE DESIGN
Return Air Diffusers
Architecturally appealing More CFM per lineal foot Minimizes noise and pressure loss

Money saving
Having two different systems Provides for the ability to shut an entire AHU off

IMPACT ON ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Hidden ductwork and VAVs Diffusers going along with lighting and architectural elements Cooling tower on ground level-hidden from public sight Will be adding a horizontal beam on concourse level in order to hide ducts on the Concourse level
