Parcel 12

Parcel 12 Development – Boston

Balanced hydronic HVAC systems supporting mixed-use office, retail, and hospitality spaces in Boston, Massachusetts.

Location Boston, Massachusetts
Date of Completion TBD

Description

Arguably the most legendary stage on which the great American spectacle has been played is the world-renowned Fenway Park. Even during the darkest times in America’s past, one thing that has always helped Americans get through those times was the beloved sport of baseball.

Baseball, otherwise known as the great American spectacle, has been a huge part of Boston and American history. This is why connecting the historic Fenway neighborhood and replacing the barren Boylston Street area with storefront retail, a hotel, and world-class office space is such an important part of Boston’s plans.

Improvements don’t stop there with Parcel 12. The experience for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, as well as those using nearby public transit, have been taken into consideration via repairs to bus stops, adding bike lanes, and connecting two of Boston’s most walkable districts.

Parcel 12 has been in the works for nearly five years and for good reason. They have a task that stands to revolutionize Boston, and with a project so important, they only trust the best.

Project Description

Enter the Balanced Hydronic System. Hydronic system balancing is an essential part of HVAC design. Without proper balancing, some coils in a system have too much flow and others don’t have enough, leaving the building unbalanced.

An unbalanced system can lead to excessive complaints as occupants experience spaces that are too hot or too cold. While manual valves may have lower initial costs, accounting for labor to balance them increases total cost. Automatic valves, on the other hand, maintain the design flow even as system pressures fluctuate.

Using Griswold Controls Automatic Flow Limiting Valves ensures the building maintains the correct flow in all zones at all times, providing consistent comfort, improved efficiency, and reliable performance.
