The Museum of Science and Industry’s Food Services was looking to expand their seating area by taking over an abandoned 7,500 square foot overflow dining area and turning it into a whimsical multi-purpose food court.

SERVICES PROVIDED

Mechanical Ventilation and Air Conditioning

ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS

• Due to the structural constraints, limited space was available for overhead ductwork
• MEPC developed a plan to provide a dedicated outside air unit to supply ventilation air to the new space and individual fan coil units to provide mechanical cooling.
• Separate systems allowed for:
• Less overhead ductwork
• Zone controls
• An energy recovery wheel which recovered sensible and latent energy from the exhaust air to reduce energy costs.
