    The sophisticated chiller/heater system is used to both cool and heat the building. Unlike a typical chiller installation, there is no true condensing & evaporating side. Design Engineers designed the system to utilize the geothermal ground loops to supply both cooling and heating as required. All 3 systems are tied together, ground water, chilled water, and heating water. The 5 chillers/heaters are controlled by demand through the advanced building controls system. 

    Control valves direct the water in the direction it’s needed, and the chillers have a delineation line that determines which units are cooling and which are heating. The system is manipulated by 12 pumps, 3 air separators, 2 heat exchangers, and other hydronic specialties. The heating system also controls the pool water through another set of pumps and heat exchangers. Chilled and heating water is pushed throughout the building to coils in the AHU’s and FCU’s. Finally, spaces in the building are tempered by over 8 miles of ductwork.
