Value Delivered
As a cost-effective solution to help this client improve employee comfort, morale, and productivity; EMCOR Services New York/New Jersey, Inc. (ES NY/NJ) provided an innovative cooling alternative.
Compared to installing a warehouse air-conditioning system, which would have cost an estimated $500,000 and approximately $35,000 a year to operate, our solution priced out at just $110,000 with an estimated annual operating cost of $5,000.
Leveraging a concept known as “breeze cooling,” we installed large, airfoil fans above the warehouse's high-traffic areas that deliver a strong downdraft, helping to lower the perceived temperature as much as 10 degrees.
By completing the project on a very tight schedule, we enabled the client to avoid another summer of discomfort. As a value-added service, we performed follow-up commissioning to adjust the system and help optimize their investment.
Client Objectives
The client needed an air cooling solution to improve employee comfort in a warehouse prone to very high summer temperatures.
Solutions
ES NY/NJ installed a “breeze cooling” solution that included large, airfoil fans with 18-foot-diameter blades above the warehouse's high-traffic areas.
The fans deliver 1.1-million cubic feet of airflow per minute to help the warehouse feel significantly cooler during hot summer months.
Six months after installation, we performed seasonal mechanical commissioning.
