Back in July 2000 the W.T. Heaney Co. of Southfield, Mich., had an interesting challenge - install a 90-ton Trane chiller into a nationally registered historic site, where exterior and interior aesthetics were almost as important as technical considerations.
The historic site is the National Shrine of the Little Flower, in Royal Oak, Mich. What did the company encounter when asked to install the first ever air conditioning in the world-famous landmark?
