With the building not being in constant use, the church wanted a solution that could keep the parishioners comfortable during peak capacity without having to oversize the system. The HVAC system also needed to deliver superior heating and cooling performance throughout any season, important in the northeast region of the country.

As the main campus for UBER’s autonomous vehicle research and development labs, the building presented a unique design challenge.  Vehicle testing garages sit side-by-side with state-of-the-art conference rooms and office space. This drove the need for zone control and specialized ventilation.

The system gives users the option to use a secure cellular LTE network, which gives the building owner secure connectivity and control.

An increased awareness of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is one trend driving demand for better-performing ventilation systems. Building occupants have a greater awareness of the importance of IEQ and how it can be affected by climate and population density.

When Josh Jeffers put his vision of creating a mixed-use complex into motion with a multi-million-dollar overhaul, the goal for the Mackie Building was to maintain the historic design aesthetics while upgrading the HVAC system to effectively serve a diverse range of tenants.
