The city of Atlanta embarked on transforming the abandoned Imperial Hotel, now called “The Commons at Imperial Hotel,” which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, into subsidized residential housing, designed specifically for residents with special needs and supportive service requirements. After a thorough review process, Conditioned Air Systems (CAS) was awarded the contract to help deliver energy savings and efficient heating and cooling options throughout this multi-pronged project.
A main goal in renovating the building was to choose a heating and cooling system that resulted in energy savings. The building required a system that offered innovative technology and the ability to provide occupants individual control while still achieving superior energy savings. With individual zoning, occupants have the flexibility to choose whether they want to heat or cool their room and set their own temperature, providing excellent personal comfort.
