What MDS Delivered |
180 Hartwell Road
(Former Raytheon Plant, Lexington , MA ) |
Goal: Convert old Raytheon manufacturing and office facilities into a new and refurbished office complex ready for tenants
- Using required tonnages, created design and layout plans for rooftop HVAC units, along with gas piping and main duct distribution
- Disconnected and removed all of the existing heating and AC equipment, pipes, pumps and valves, in some cases employing helicopters for removal
- Prepared old equipment for environmental recycling
- Installed new systems

Goal: Transform an existing building into a multi-purpose facility, including an office workspace area an a manufacturing clean room environment
- Installed process piping for manufacturing systems and ductwork and sheet metal for HVAC systems
- Installed new plumbing throughout the building
- Worked closely with general contractor to design and build the project on a fixed budget
|
Lytron Corp.
Woburn , MA |
Goal: Renovate a 56,000 square foot office and manufacturing combination facility with all new HVAC and reheating systems and related materials and plumbing
- Worked closely with general contractor on up-front budget analysis to save costs without sacrificing the integrity of the project

Medical Exam Center
|
Goal: Resolve poor air quality and building odors without expense of a total HVAC system replacement
- Conducted survey of existing mechanical equipment and found a minimal amount of fresh air entering the facility
- Determined the existing equipment was overtaxed and could not heat or cool more fresh air
- Designed a series of Energy Recovery Units that introduced the proper amount of outside air and improved the indoor air quality without adding additional heating or cooling capacity
- Resulted in lower equipment/installation costs and lower utility costs with no interruptions to operations
- Total project savings versus a conventional make-up air system: $54,000

Bridgewater Goddard Park Medical Associates
Bridgewater , MA |
Goal: Replace the existing HVAC system with new energy efficient equipment without disruption to patients and staff
- Replaced the entire HVAC system while the facility remained in operation
- Replaced all low-pressure duct work, a 60-ton Variable Air Volume (VAV) rooftop unit and standard atmosphere boilers with new duct work and high efficiency boilers
- Installed a new HVAC control system with 24x7 web access, accessible from anywhere with Internet connections
- Control system web interface allows the building manager and staff to view and change set points remotely
- Total annual savings on utility bills are estimated at more than 18%
