Facility Assessment

A. Heating System

Description: The existing system for the 1973 Original Construction is an electric-fired resistance type heating system, installed in 1973 with incrementalupgrades, and is in fair to poor condition. The system in the 1973 Auditorium Fixed Seating Areas is an extension of that found in the 1973Original Construction. 2-pipe vs. 4-pipe designations are not applicable in this facility due to the facility being equipped with electric-firedresistance type heating and DX cooling, which is not compliant with the OSDM requirements for basic system type. Heated air is distributed viaelectric radiant baseboard heaters, cabinet heaters, wall heaters, indoor air handling units, electric VAV boxes with re-heat, and ducted packagedroof-top HVAC units. The terminal equipment was installed in 1973 with incremental upgrades and is in fair condition. The system appears tocomply with the 15 CFM per person fresh air requirements of the Ohio Building Code mechanical code and Ohio School Design Manual. TheHoneywell DDC type system temperature controls were installed in 2008 and are in good to fair condition. The system does not feature individualtemperature controls in all spaces required by the OSDM. The overall system does not feature any central energy recovery systems. The facilityis not equipped with louvered interior doors to facilitate Corridor utilization as return air plenums. The existing system is ducted, but the ductworkcannot be integrated into a possible future system due to arrangement, air volume, and routing of existing ductwork. The overall heating system isevaluated as being in safe but inefficient working order, and long term life expectancy of the existing system is not anticipated. The structure isequipped with central air conditioning, except for the Gymnasium, Locker Rooms, and both floors of the connector Corridor. The site does notcontain underground fuel tanks.

Rating: 3 Needs Replacement

Recommendations: Provide new overall heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system to achieve compliance with Ohio Building Code and Ohio School DesignManual standards. Replace existing ductwork to facilitate efficient exchange of conditioned air.
