The outpatient clinic is experiencing temperature control, lack of airflow, HVAC noise, maintenance access, and air quality issues. The project included an investigation phase concluded with a report to address near and long term goals and strategies for the clinic regarding HVAC. The report detailed a means to bring the facility up to the current client standards under future projects and strategies to ensure that future designs and construction meet client standards and needs. 
The second phase of the design was the replacement of existing equipment that does not meet the current VA specifications including an older air handling unit and associated return fan. Additionally a means to attenuate the noise from an existing return fan was devised including replacing the return fan with a mixed flow fan with sound attenuators. The careful selection of equipment was mandatory since new standards require increased air filtration and the replacement air handler had to be installed above occupied areas with strict noise criteria. During the investigation phase it was determined that reheat valves were not closing and has been attributed to lack of filtration and water treatment for the hot water system. All of the most pressing issues were addressed in the design while maintaining a phasing strategy that would allow the facility to be utilized to the greatest extent feasible at the same time enforcing the most strict infection control measures during construction while keeping the construction costs below the client's budget.
Improve HVAC at VA Loch Raven Outpatient Clinic
Conduct feasibility study for replacing steam process boilers and equipment, domestic hot water heaters and heating hot water boilers. 
The existing plant is served by a high temperature hot water system that the O&M staff is unhappy with. The high temperature hot water system generates, domestic hot water, steam and heating hot water for the hospital.
A feasibility study was conducted including life cycle cost comparisons of domestic hot water systems, heating hot water systems and boiler feed systems.
New entire boiler plant was revamped requiring a phasing plan that would ensure the hospital would have N+1 redundancy on steam and heating systems during construction. This required utilizing the base campus high temperature hot water system while existing systems were being demolished. 
High pressure steam system complete with condensate storage tanks and transfer pumps, feedwater deaerator and pumps, feedwater economizer, domestic hot water condensing economizer was designed. Boilers were designed to be dual fuel as required by client standards.
The domestic hot water loads had to be recalculated since the previous engineer had over sized the domestic hot water system. A life cycle cost analysis showed a short payback for providing evacuated solar loop to preheat the domestic water and condensing hot water boilers were designed to meet the full hot water demand of the facility. The design reused existing domestic hot water storage tanks for cost savings.
A heating hot water system was designed again using condensing boilers which were also dual fuel as required by client standards. Life cycle costs were utilized to show payback.
