On this 24-story mid-rise building, GT designed, furnished, and installed a complete system of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. As with many design-build projects we do, this one had many complex components including a wider range of equipment from RTUs to water-source heat pumps to a cooling tower to a fully dedicated outdoor air system to coordinated crane lifts and much more. We love thorny and complex projects, and our collaborators hire us because they know we’ll get the job done right the first time.
