Kucirek Engineering was the mechanical and electrical design consultant for various Cornerstone Bank locations throughout Nebraska. This project in York, Nebraska, was a four-story addition to an existing bank. The design required diligent coordination to maintain the operation of the facility during the construction process.
The HVAC system was designed to provide heating and cooling through a single-duct variable air volume (VAV) system. Variable air volume terminal boxes were systematically located throughout the building addition to provide precise temperature control to individual zones. The air-handling unit and return fan was located in the basement mechanical room and ductwork was routed up a shaft to provide air to each floor. The refrigerant piping for the direct-expansion cooling system was routed from the basement cooling coil up to the condensing unit on the roof. The heating media is hot water produced from high-efficiency gas-fired hot water boilers.
