Residence Hall Renovations 

Marianna, FL

WEI contributed to renovations of the existing 33,000 SF residence halls at Chipola College by implementing HVAC designs that consisted of a new system utilizing the campus’s central chilled water plant. Additionally, digital controls with set-point limits were included to address air quality concerns. Previously, the dorms were served by DX units that were oversized for the load of the rooms and there was no limit on how cold the residents could set the room temperature. The new HVAC system corrected issues related to temperature control and air quality with owner efficiency and resident comfortability in mind.
