The building\u2019s HVAC setup required precise coordination between two separate systems\u2014air and water. Each one played a distinct role, but they had to operate in sync to deliver the desired performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/?page_id=224&amp;lang=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hydronic side<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, interpreting the mechanical plans and shop drawings was essential. We had to make sure all water flow parameters lined up with the design intent, especially when it came to managing pressure and balancing heat distribution across various zones. That meant communication with Plomberie Charbonneau\u2019s on-site plumbers and control technicians to coordinate the correct setpoints.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/?page_id=497&amp;lang=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">air balancing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> part of the project came with its own set of hurdles. The classrooms are supplied by an H-type system, and it\u2019s more complex than it sounds. The air system integrates a heat recovery system with a thermal wheel, which adjusts the air based on CO\u2082 levels in the classrooms. The H-system is managed through pressure readings taken at two-thirds of the ductwork, along with temperature sensors in each classroom.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The challenge on our part was making sure the system operated smoothly without putting unnecessary strain on the system or driving up heating costs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so, we had to ensure that all the components, which included 6 supply fans, 2 return fans, and 3 exhaust fans, worked in unison. The temperature and pressure controls had to align perfectly, all while using motorized dampers and motor speed control to fine-tune the airflow across the building. It was all about getting the airflow just right, while also reducing energy consumption.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1665\" src=\"https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.18.28\u202fAM.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1242\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.18.28\u202fAM.webp 1242w, https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.18.28\u202fAM-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.18.28\u202fAM-1024x767.webp 1024w, https:\/\/smpleblanc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.18.28\u202fAM-768x575.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1242px) 100vw, 1242px\" \/><\/p><h2><b>Pulling It All Together: Why Balancing Both Systems Matters<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The real work didn\u2019t just stop with fixing leaks or adjusting dampers.
