Commercial Portfolio
Take a look at some of our most recent Commercial projects.
Princeton University - Office Fit-Out
Location: Princeton, nj
Type: Commercial
The commercial office fit-out project at 619 Alexander provided a new space for the Office of the Dean for Research and Princeton University. The project involved integrating new MEP systems into the base building systems, while also adhering closely to University standards. An energy recovery ventilator was installed for the space, providing improved indoor air quality. Variable speed water source heat pumps were also installed, providing increased energy savings and occupant comfort compared to single stage equipment. All LED lighting with modern controls provide energy savings (vacancy and daylight sensors). The project also required the entire building’s fire alarm system to be replaced with a modern addressable system, and the building mains running through the tenant space were replaced with all metal piping in place of the former PVC hydronic piping original to the building.
