Courthouse Air Handlers

The Wood County Commission replaced the aging air handlers in the courthouse in two phases. The first phase replaced the units serving the first and second floors. Pickering Associates was involved in the second phase of the project, which replaced the air handling units serving the third and fourth floors.

Pickering Associates provided limited engineering services in order to bid and replace four new packaged 10-ton indoor air-handling units with hot water coil option in the attic space of the courthouse, two new outdoor 20-ton air cooled condensing units and boilers for supplying hot water to coils in air-handling units. Construction was difficult due to the location of the equipment, and the necessary routing though old chases in this historic facility.

Due to the current weather conditions at the time of construction, it was necessary to keep the existing units in operation until the last possible moment. Changeover was coordinated for unoccupied periods.
