Project Description:
The Consumer Healthcare Center is located in the Pfizer Morris Plains, New Jersey complex and is the corporation's state-of-the-art research and administration center for the development of consumer healthcare products. Building 115 is a five level, 490,000 sf structure consisting of a lower level, four stories above ground and a mechanical penthouse. The building will be certified according to the US Green Building Council's LEED Rating System and will utilize state-of-the-art HVAC for maximum occupant comfort and efficiency and minimum energy consumption. It will be commissioned according to the LEED requirements for basic prerequisite commissioning and for Additional Commissioning (E/A Credit 3).
The energy efficient HVAC system consists of eleven large rooftop air handling units in full VAV operation. Cooling is via three chillers, four rooftop cooling towers and a plate and frame heat exchanger for "free cooling." Full variable frequency drive design on all pumps and fans ensures the best possible energy efficiency for this large-scale office building. Heating is via two hot water boilers, each sized for 75% of the total load for redundancy.
Dome-Tech was brought into the project during the early design phase and developed the Commissioning Plan and Design Intent as well as the Commissioning Specifications and the Commissionability Design Review. The entire building is controlled by a central Building Automation System for the best in operating economy and safety. The entire system is backed up with an emergency generator and automatic transfer switchgear.
The HVAC system will be 4-pipe hydronic system using roof-mounted AHUs, basement boilers and chillers and rooftop cooling towers for the chillers. The office AHU/ terminal systems are provided for kitchen, dining, auditorium and lobby areas. The biding is also equipped with a 24/7 cooling system for critical machinery and voice/ data spaces that is comprised of dry coolers on the roof and packaged air to water heat pumps in the cooled spaces. Air handling units serving the lobby, auditorium and dining are set up for humidity control (M-1,2).
This project started in December 2004 and is anticipated to be completed in December 2007.
