The following Project Narrative describes Mechanical, Electrical, and Architectural work associated with the HVAC renovation of Brady Hall on Kentucky School for the Deaf Campus.

Mechanical:

All existing heat pumps and their associated piping runouts/valves will be replaced. Two new Dedicated Outdoor Air units will be installed on the roof to both ensure all spaces receive quality outdoor air and that a proper relative humidity and positive building pressure are maintained. The existing hydronics pumps as well as their associated air separator and expansion tank will be replaced. The existing domestic water heater will also be replaced. Existing ductwork and piping will be mostly reused. A new, web-based front-end control system will be provided. The existing kitchen exhaust system including hoods, make-up air unit, and exhaust fan will be replaced.

Electrical:

Existing second floor lighting to be replaced with new LED lighting. Lighting controls will be replaced throughout the building and be brought up to code.

The existing fire alarm system to be replaced with a new mass notification fire alarm system. All devices and cabling to be replaced with new.

Summer of 2025 - Replace all of the existing panelboards with new. Existing switchboard to remain.

Summer of 2026 - The existing switchboard, secondary service lateral and panelboard feeders to be replaced with new. Electrical shutdown to be coordinated between the school and the utility company. Contractor to minimize downtime.

Architectural:

The Architect will be providing support as required to all for the installation of the mechanical system. Acoustical tile and grid ceilings will be replaced in all areas of major above-ceiling work, including all major corridors. Areas where less intrusive above-ceiling work is required will be indicated to have only partial replacement. Restrooms with drywall ceilings will have their ceilings removed so that mechanical work can be performed above and then the ceilings will be replaced.

Louvers at the soffits over perimeter windows will be removed and the soffit plaster repaired. New chases for mechanical routing will be constructed in a few discrete places on the upper floor.

Roof penetrations required for the mechanical renovation will be reused, patched, capped, or otherwise repaired. Roof-installed ductwork will be appropriately supported with attachment to building structure.
