EMBRACING GREEN BUILDING PRINCIPLES
McKenney’s designed and built an HVAC system with wireless controls to replace window air conditioning units and radiant heat at an Atlanta charter school to significantly
reduce the school’s energy consumption—and installed quickly over summer break.
HVAC INSTALLATION MAKES THE GRADE
McKenney’s replaced a cooling tower, boiler and pump at the Atlanta campus of a long-standing college-preparatory school to provide a modern HVAC system that administrators can count on to heat and cool classrooms—while consuming less power and reducing energy costs.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TAKE FLIGHT
A McKenney’s service team and Emory University Woodruff Physical Education Center (WPEC) staff improved energy efficiency with new air handling units (AHUs) to contribute to Emory University WPEC’s energy savings initiatives.
