HVAC in K-12 Projects
K-12 schools are becoming just as advanced as colleges and universities in design.
Meet challenging HVAC needs in K-12 buildings:
Induction chilled-beam design for HVAC installation is an option for a school that does not have cooling or mechanical ventilation. In conjunction with wall-mounted induction units, dedicated outdoor-air units can handle the total latent load of the building. This type of system allows the school to remove the existing unit ventilators and provide a system that is energy-efficient and improves indoor-air quality. Furthermore, it has minimal impact because the ductwork is being minimized.
Unique requirements in K-12 buildings:
Flexible-use spaces can vary in type of use and number of people (auditorium/cafeteria, gym/large event area, etc.). These nonspecific-use spaces create design options that must be carefully coordinated to meet expectations.
Schools and the learning environment have a critical focus on noise. The design must take into account solutions for sound attenuation. It is critical to mitigation noise without disrupting education.

Mission Critical MEP/FP design for MRI Suites
Focus on the electrical, fire protection, and plumbing considerations when designing MRI suites.
Lighting
RF shield
RF shields are typically thin sheets of copper foil, aluminum, or galvanized steel that cover floors, ceilings, doors, and windows in an MRI magnet room. Any penetrations into RF-shielded areas (HVAC, power, exhaust, plumbing, and piping) pass through RF filters or wave guides. Since ferromagnetic materials can interfere with MRI operations, all ductwork, hangers, and supports within the RF shield must be nonferrous.
Emergency power and UPS
Individual hospitals, along with the building code, determine the type of emergency power MRI equipment will need in the event of a power outage. Hospitals frequently use uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems to maintain constant power to equipment during an outage or when transferring from one source to another. The UPS helps maintain power when switching to and from generator-backed power.
Plumbing and fire protection systems
MRI suites require unique plumbing and fire protection systems to meet the facility’s health and safety needs while also accommodating the equipment’s distinct specifications.
Plumbing
Designing plumbing systems around an MRI magnet room without interfering with sensitive equipment is particularly challenging. Water and drain lines must be installed in a way that will not interfere with the RF shield including passing through RF wave guides and dielectric breaks.
Fire protection
All sprinkler system components in MRI rooms must be constructed of nonferrous materials (copper, brass, and stainless steel are common). Careful consideration should be made for piping in adjacent spaces.
