Features
TLC designed a system with five new air handling units (AHU) and a single 130-ton air-cooled chiller to support the two buildings. Both buildings have energy-efficient LED lighting and a lighting control system with occupancy sensors. TLC also designed an extension of the horizontal wiring premise distribution system (voice/data) from the existing building into the new ones, along with raceways and infrastructure for wireless access points. In addition to engineering the new buildings, TLC is serving as the commissioning authority responsible for verifying that the building systems are installed correctly and performing as designed.
