Theater In The Round Underground

Client Goals: 1. Silent 2. Hidden 3. Comfortable 4. Energy Efficient Challenges: 1. Variable Occupancy 2. High Occupant Densities 3. High Lighting Power Densities (100kW) 4. Connected Indoor/Outdoor Spaces 5. High Usage 3 of 18

1. High Performance Envelope 2. Ground Loop HX with water to Air Heat Pumps. 3. Heat Recovery (DOAS) 4. Delta-T variable pumping 5. Economizers 6. Below-grade Ductwork Displacement Ventilation 7. Structural Integration 8. Occupancy Sensors 4 of 18

Decoupled ground loop pumping 5 of 18 Dedicated Heat Pump pumping.

• Comfortable & Quiet • 35 kBtu/SF Actual • 64% savings over typical theater project • Low maintenance Costs 6 of 18

• Envelopes are important, but HVAC is where the energy is. 1 st Step is to select a system that can be • turned off • 2nd Step is to “right - size” • Net-zero ready can be cheap • Heat pump DHW heating can be implemented cost effectively. • DOAS systems do not require tempering if careful attention is paid to HX selection .com 20 of 18
