A local commercial property owner needed a warehouse re-fit to a 9,000 square foot child care facility, conforming to all local and state requirements.  For the new facility to have its grand opening in time for summer sign-up, the entire tenant fit-up was required to be completed in only four weeks.

One of the facility’s many unique requirements included the need for three separate heating and cooling zones for infants, preschoolers and grades 1-3.

Binsky & Snyder Service immediately proceeded to design a heating, air conditioning and ventilation system that would conform to state regulations for child care facilities and the owner’s requirements and budget. The Binsky Service team presented a design and build plan to the owners by the end of the first week.

Our mechanical workforce was waiting to begin duct fabrication as final approvals were received and equipment was ordered soon after. The energy management system was also fabricated at a Binsky Service facility.

Three Trane rooftop heating and cooling systems with economizers were selected because of their conformance to design criteria and their fast delivery schedule. Penn ventilation fans were installed for all bathrooms, nine in total.

A Honeywell Excel 5000 Automated Energy Management System was selected due to the system’s ability to control, monitor and store the equipment's occupied and unoccupied schedule within one controller. The control system also has a built-in modem that can be used to access the system from off-site locations to schedule changes in operation.

The child care facility had its grand opening exactly four weeks after the project started. All governmental and client requirements were met, including three separate temperature zones and controls.

Customers were greeted in a bright new air conditioned facility totally unaware of the flurry of activity over the past four weeks to transform a warehouse into a first-rate child care facility.
