Nevada Best of 2007/Fay Herron Elementary School Modernization

摘要

This 10.8 million dollars modernization of Fay Herron Elementary School in North Las Vegas was completed in July. The 916-student public school teaches grades K-5. The project reduces annual energy demands at the aging 44-year-old, 61,801-sq-ft school complex by 80 tons for a 49 percent cost savings. The feat was achieved by installing a highly-efficient, prefabricated central chiller and boiler plant with a new four-pipe chilled water and hot water piping system. Individual multi-zone air handlers with roof-mounted refrigeration units were placed atop roofs of the 12-building campus while exterior and interior wall insulation and heavy-duty doors were added.
