The University of Delaware’s Cannon Laboratory in Lewes, Delaware was constructed in 1975. The building serves multiple functions including research by Marine scientists, undergraduate and graduate studies, office space for research and administration personnel.
The building mechanical and electrical systems exceeded their useful life and functioned poorly. DEDC first was contracted to perform a detailed assessment of the systems. Five (5) combinations of heating and cooling technologies were evaluated. DEDC and the University selected the HVAC system that combines good engineering practices, energy savings and acceptable first costs.
This project was completed on time with minimal disruptions.
