The Town of Cheshire deserves a design team that understands the challenges of HVAC replacement. Our firm’s proven ability to develop responsive, budget- controlled HVAC projects is evidenced by work that we have accomplished on several similar projects. These include a massive boiler and chiller plant replacement at Foran High School in Milford which required careful phasing of its two boilers and larger chilled water plant, coordinating schedules around both the student occupancies and the public use of the aquatic center. We have also designed the installation of air conditioning, dehumidification and ventilation systems in facilities that previously were only heated. Projects have been completed in Norwalk, Hamden, North Branford and North Haven. We recently completed HVAC replacement on All of these projects involved central boilers, central Windsor’s JFK Elementary School. chillers, and four-pipe hydronic systems. Our architects and engineers conducted the required research, prepared construction documents, and provided critical support during the bid and construction phases for all of these projects which were delivered under budget. Most recently, school districts have been advised that ensuring a good flow of fresh air helps dissipate any COVID virus that might find its way inside their school buildings. Our engineers are assisting the Towns of Fairfield and Guilford with evaluations of their school ventilation systems as these school systems assure educators, parents and students of safe hybrid and in-school learning environments. 3190 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT 06518 | Tel 203 230 9007 | Fax 203 230 8247 | silverpetrucelli.com Town of Cheshire Cheshire HS HVAC Improvements March 19, 2021 Page Two Our in-house technical knowledge and expertise in HVAC design will prove to be valuable in developing design solutions that are consistent with your schedule and budget.
