Office buildings provide steady mechanical work at every stage of their life: new core and shell construction, tenant improvements every time a floor turns over, energy retrofits, and ongoing service contracts on the equipment.
An office building is built for comfort, flexibility and energy efficiency. Tenants change layouts over the years, so the mechanical systems are designed to be rearranged rather than rebuilt.
VAV boxes, fan coils or VRF divide each floor into zones that can be adjusted as walls move.
Much of the work is reworking duct, piping and controls for new tenants inside occupied buildings.
Economizers, efficient equipment and building automation help meet energy codes and owner targets.
Aging equipment is maintained and replaced over decades, which drives steady service work.
VAV systems with air handlers or rooftop units, dedicated outside air systems, and VRF in smaller buildings.
Chilled water and heating hot water plants, cooling towers and pumps in larger buildings.
Duct, VAV boxes, diffusers, plumbing for break rooms and restrooms, and controls tie-ins on occupied floors.
Chiller and boiler replacements, VFDs, controls upgrades and electrification projects.
Preventive maintenance, repairs and service agreements on rooftop units, chillers, boilers and controls.
