Project lead overseeing the replacement of a 100-year-old modified coal furnace with modern forced air furnaces. The project entailed the demolition of a room-sized brick enclosure, a six-foot diameter blower, retort, and sub-basement passageways. It also involved comprehensive asbestos remediation and removal. Managed the design and construction of intricate duct work to connect five new furnaces to the original ducting, servicing eight zones. The updated system featured advanced controls, including multiple stage heating, flame modulation, makeup air, outside air intake, variable air mixing, relief air, enthalpy sensors for free cooling, and Internet-based energy management thermostats.
