This project was redesigned by ROI after initial designs by another firm were rejected by the client.   There were actually four projects being implemented - replace the chiller plant, replace the boiler plant, replace half the air handlers, replace the other half of the air handlers.

In the chiller plant, two single effect steam fired absorption chillers were replaced by one variable speed centrifugal and one direct fired absorption chiller, increasing the chiller capacity by 60%. 

The boiler plant project consisted of replacing  two 35,000 pound per hour 125 PSI boilers with two 14,000 PPH boilers. 

The air handler project consisted of replacing every major airhandling unit in the hospital with AHU’s  increased in capacity by 65% to 95% to accommodate greater fresh air loads imposed by new standards for IAQ, and to reflect the real ambient conditions experienced at the hospital.

Due to budget considerations, these retrofits took place over a three year period, and were accomplished with zero downtime to the hospital.

The project won an energy conservation award from San Diego Gas & Electric.
