This $268 million expansion is scheduled to double the size of the Colorado Convention Center. The project includes 292,000 square feet of new exhibit space, a 50,000-square-foot ballroom, and a 5,000-fixed seat auditorium. M.E. Engineers was called in to develop and install an efficient and quiet air distribution system.
As the engineering and consulting firm is quick to point out, ducts carrying large volumes of cooled air at high speeds can be at risk for condensation collecting on the outside of the cool duct. Another potential problem involves noise from the airflow and the ventilation equipment.
