Capital Regional Medical Office Building

Updating HVAC Systems for Performance and Control

Constructed in 1998, the Capital Regional Medical Office Building is a two-story, 38,225-square-foot facility located on the Capital Regional Medical Center campus. The existing HVAC systems, which included a mix of split systems and air-source heat pumps, presented opportunities for improved ventilation and controls.

System Improvements

Pearson Engineering designed and assisted in implementing a new Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with associated ductwork to deliver fresh air to each air handling unit throughout the facility. This solution significantly enhanced indoor air quality, improved dehumidification, and provided more consistent ventilation compared to the original system.

Controls Integration

A new Building Automation System (BAS) was introduced to manage the building’s 14 fan coil units and 8 rooftop units. Previously, these systems operated via standalone thermostats without centralized control.

The new BAS delivers:

• • Unified and remote operational control
  • Increased visibility into HVAC performance
  • Enhanced energy efficiency and occupant comfort
