3. McKenney’s installed air-cooled chillers, a mechanical plant, all
ductwork, piping and plumbing for In Touch Ministries’ recording studio,
a producer of global television and radio broadcasts.

4. The Challenge
In addition to addressing the large air volume specification for this
110-by-110-foot recording studio and ancillary spaces, the team also
had to ensure all equipment and ductwork met the studio’s NC (Noise
Criterion) 15 rating requirement for noise abatement.
The Solution
Two 300-ton chillers, supported by two 33,000 CFM air handling units
along with 21,000 CFM and 14,000 CFM air handling units, were
necessary to serve the studio and related rooms. To meet the NC 15
rating, the McKenney’s team planned, fabricated and installed
oversized ductwork lined with insulation to minimize and absorb air
flow sound. The significant air volume and lownoise requirement
made for a sizable and impressive system.

5. The Results
The mechanical system is now an integral part of maintaining a
comfortable environment during production sessions—keeping the
studio cool and noise-free so it can continue broadcasting the
ministry’s messages to the world.
