Quiet, Consistent Comfort for Learning Environments
Our hydronic cooling systems create quieter, more comfortable, and energy-efficient learning environments for schools, libraries, and campuses. Using water for heat transfer allows them to operate up to 40% more efficiently than traditional air-based HVAC systems while providing consistent temperatures, improved humidity control, and reduced noise levels.
Our Projects
UC Merced
UC Merced, the 10th campus in the prestigious University of California system and the first major American research university to be built in the 21st century, opened September 5, 2005.
