3. Georgia Tech built a 45,000-squarefoot facility to
research energy efficient technologies with a goal
of minimizing net energy usage of the building.

4. The Challenge
McKenney’s was responsible for a tight project schedule, which required
management of several major subcontractors performing work
concurrently and coordination of material storage at a congested job
site.
The Solution
A pre-planning and batching effort was implemented. Many energy
efficient technologies were utilized, including: dual energy recovery
wheels, an under-floor air distribution system with individual zone
controls, a prefabricated chiller plant with a magnetic bearing
compressor, natural ventilation with automatically controlled windows
and louvers, radiant under-slab heating systems, coil condensate
recovery, and an underground rainwater recovery system for the toilets
and HVAC systems. McKenney’s was able to keep minimal amounts of
material on the jobsite and worked effectively with other contractors.
