15 van brunt elementary school: building systems summary The following is summary of Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical needs. Full engineers reports are located later in this document. Plumbing: Two water services serve the school, a 3 service with a 3 compound water meter. A second water service comes into the tunnel. The combined water services appear to the adequate supply for building needs. Water piping is mostly galvanized and is original to the building, piping is in poor condition and owner has reported issues. Replace galvanized piping and add shut-off valves for system shut-down. Evaluate hot water system and add recirculation to loops to long runs to improve performance. Sanitary sewer and vent piping are a mix of cast iron and PVC, is in fair to good condition, and owner has reported issues at second floor toilet rooms. Replace sanitary piping at second floor toilet rooms. Inspection with a camera of the existing sewer located below the floor is recommended. Rainwater is collected in a cistern then flows by gravity to a manhole in the courtyard, owner has not reported any problems; inspection with a camera of the existing sewer located below the floor is recommended; replace depending upon outcome of scope. Kitchen dishwasher does not have a grease interceptor, the three compartment sink does have a grease interceptor and is adequately sized. Provide a grease interceptor for the dishwasher, and provide continuous pumping and grease removal on the sink. The hot water system is served by two Rheem gas fired water heaters with 75 gallons of storage for each heater. Both were installed in 2011 and are in good working condition. The recirculation pump is a B&G pump and is in good working condition. Provide continued maintenance on the water heaters. Dishwasher is a Hobart C-44A. Hot water is boosted through a gas fired tank type water heater and is poor condition. Replace gas fired tank type booster heater for dishwasher with an electric or gas fired instantaneous booster heater. Capitol Simplex water softener provides treated water for the water heaters only, and is in good condition. Provide continued maintenance on the water softener. Plumbing fixtures are a combination of various styles and ages, with most of the fixtures original to the building. Older water closets and lavatories should be replaced with new water conserving and ADA compliant fixtures. FACE room sinks are stainless steel drop in sinks. sinks are single basin stainless steel. Mop sinks are wall mount porcelain coated cast iron, no vacuum breakers are installed, and are in fair condition. Install vacuum breakers on mop sinks. Showers are multi-user wall packs, a single head shower station is not ADA compliant, and most of the showers are abandoned. If showers are still used, replace single shower head with ADA compliant fixture with handshower. The building is not sprinkled. A major renovation or addition would require a fire protection system to be installed. One of the incoming water services would need to be replaced to accommodate the sprinkler system. HVAC: One hot water boiler plant serves the building, was replaced in 2001, consists of four Thermal Solutions, is in good condition, and with proper maintenance should continue to serve the building for another years. Continue preventative maintenance; if a major renovation or addition is planned, recommend installing an additional set of supply and return piping along the current system. Insulation on piping is of adequate thickness, is in good condition. Some insulation was missing on chilled water piping. Two-pipe heating/cooling circuit is a method of providing both heating and cooling to an area by only running one set of supply and return piping. date current pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control. Van Brunt Elementary School 15

16 van brunt elementary school: building systems summary The following is summary of Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical needs. Full engineers reports are located later in this document. HVAC (cont.): Air handling units serving the 1954 and 1966 portions are original units, and have exceeded their life expectancy of years. Plans should be made for the replacement of the aging airhandling units. Many classroom unit ventilators are original with some new units installed in Original units have exceed their life expectancy of years. Plans should be made for the replacement of the aging unit ventilators. The chiller, cooling tower, and pumping systems were installed in 2004, is in good condition, and should serve the building for another years. date the current chilled water pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control. Continue preventative maintenance on the chilled water system. With proper maintenance, these systems should continue to serve for another years. Condensate piping serving some second floor unit ventilators was run on exterior of the building, was installed poorly and unevenly. Re-pipe the condensate piping serving the second floor classroom unit ventilators; new routings within the building run to hub drains is recommended. Control systems are in satisfactory condition, the limitations of the pneumatic system do result in comfort complaints. Continue to maintain and operate the pneumatic control system as long as the current mechanical equipment remains. When any additions or renovations are made, a changeover to digital controls is recommended. Electrical: Two separate electrical services feed the building, the first was upgraded in 1996, the second was installed in 2004 and feeds the 1954 and 2004 additions. The service panel has no room for additional breakers. This service is fed from a utility pole overhead. Due to limited room in the panel, the main bus was tapped to add additional loads. The second service has room for seven additional three-pole breakers. The 2004 electrical service is in good condition, recommend exercising the breakers and cleaning the inside panel as part of an annual maintenance program. If any major renovations or additions occur, the service with not be large enough to accommodate. Recommend replacing the older service equipment with a new style switchboard and provide new breakers to feed all existing loads. Panelboards are of various ages and conditions and coincide with the age of the addition. The 2004 panels are in fair to good condition, with most panels having limited room for additions. Remaining panels are greater than 20 years old. Replace all older vintage panelboards and fusible switches in the original section, 1954, 1966, and 1992 additions with new interiors and breakers. Approximately 15 panels are in need of replacement. An exterior mounted, natural gas fired emergency backup generator was installed in 1996 and is a 20 Kw set. A 60 amp three pole breaker was mounted in the weather proof enclosure. The generator feeds a transfer switch and panel that feeds various loads throughout the building to include life safety and non-life safety loads. Provide a generator to power life safety and nonlife safety loads. Per code the loads need to be separated with distribution equipment and two transfer switches. The current loads are fed off of one panel. Due to the age of the generator, recommend replacement if distribution equipment is updated. Lighting varies with the age of each addition, some is LED lighting. Fluorescent lighting is T8 fixtures and do not have dual level controls or occupancy sensors. Provide dual technology occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices and provide ultrasonic occupancy sensors in corridors to provide automatic shut-off. Emergency lighting is done by the generator, and appears to not be code compliant. Study the facility to determine if egress lighting is up to current codes. Horicon School District 16

17 van brunt elementary school: building systems summary The following is summary of Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical needs. Full engineers reports are located later in this document. Electrical (cont.): Exit lights vary in age and coincide with the age of the addition. Exterior fixtures consist of HID fixtures, and are being replaced with LED type as they fail. grade to all LED lighting is recommended. The lighting is dated and fixtures have exceeded their useful lifespan with the exception of the 2004 and recently upgraded LED sections. Receptacles and toggle switches vary in age and are in need of replacement due to age or condition. Replace any broken switches and receptacles. Wiring above the ceilings is not strapped or supported properly. Older sections of the building are lacking receptacles; add additional receptacles to classrooms and office areas as required. Data cabling consists of mostly Cat 5e, both plenum and nonplenum. Possibly upgrade all cabling to Cat 6 or Enhanced Cat 6 cabling to increase speed of network. Remove all existing cabling and surface raceway and provide new. CCTV system consists of 9 cameras throughout the interior and exterior. The system is coax wired and routed to a recording device. The system is old and in need of upgrading. Recommend replacement of CCTV system to a new IP system to allow for network functions and update to new technology. Provide new recording through network onto a network drive. Five access controlled doors exist and are a Vanderbilt system. The doors are controlled by two separate systems, one in the 2013 addition and the other in the remainder of the building. Provide a new networked keyless entry system and expand to all buildings in the district. This allows for one seamless, network based system and allow for easier management. Replace receptacles located less than 6 from sinks with GFI protected type. The existing fire alarm system was expanded as additions were added. Many problems exist and the system does not have a dialer. Remove the existing system in its entirety and provide a new system throughout with proper coverage for horns, strobes, and smokes. Open cubbies are present and require smoke detection in all corridors. Existing clock system is failing and owner indicated issues. Clocks are being replaced with battery type as existing clocks fail. Provide a new school wide GPS battery powered clock system. Intercom head end was installed in 2013 with none of the existing wiring or devices being updated. Replace existing devices throughout with new speakers and wiring, and add additional devices as required. A wireless bridge connects the High School to the building. Provide an alternate method for connection to the High School. Consider a district owned hard wired end to end fiber connection or a hard wired connection through a provider. There are three data distribution locations. Provide true data closets with secure rooms, proper cooling, grounding, and racks for mounting equipment. Van Brunt Elementary School 17

45 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - hvac The date of the original building construction is unknown. Additions and renovations occurred in 1954, 1966, 1992 and Heating System Existing Data Observations A single hot water boiler plant serves the building. The boiler plant was replaced in 2001 and consists of four (4) Thermal Solutions hot water boilers each fired with natural gas. Each boiler has a gross output capacity of 1,320,000 btu. The piping and pumping system for the boiler plant consists of multiple circuits in a primary/secondary constant flow arrangement with stand-by system pumps. Each boiler is served by a dedicated primary pump. For each secondary system circuit, if the primary pump fails, the stand-by pump will start and provide hot water circulation to the system. The building piping system is a two-pipe heating/cooling system which is manually changed over from heating to cooling in the spring and then back to heating in the fall. The boiler plant is in good condition. With proper maintenance, the boilers and pumps should continue to serve the facility for another years. Boiler water chemical systems are in place and are reported to be monitored and maintained on a regular basis. Insulation at most piping is of adequate thickness and in satisfactory to good condition. A portion of the chilled water piping within the boiler/chiller room was missing some insulation and was sweating at the time of this walk-through. Piping is labeled throughout the facility. The two-pipe heating/cooling circuit is a method of providing both heating and cooling to an area of the building by only running one set of supply and return piping mains. It has limitations in which the area of the building served can only be in one mode of operation at a time. This means that spaces that need cooling while the system is in heating mode will not receive cooling until the entire system is manually changed over, and visa-versa. Recommendations Continue preventative maintenance on the system. If a major renovation or building addition is planned, we recommend installing an additional set of supply and return piping Horicon School District 45

46 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - hvac alongside the current two-pipe system to provide a proper four-pipe system that will allow for simultaneous heating and cooling during the transitional months in the spring and fall when needed. date the current pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control to optimize system energy usage. Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems Existing Data There are multiples system types that provide ventilation for the facility. The systems are constant volume air handling systems with reheat, single-zone constant volume air handling systems, and classroom unit ventilators. Large volume spaces such as the gymnasiums are served by individual single-zone constant volume air handling units. Constant volume systems consist of a central supply fan, which contains a heating coil, cooling coil, fresh air and return air dampers. A room thermostat is used to control the temperature of the air supplied to the space. The interior classroom areas are served by constant volume air handling systems with hot water booster coils. A booster coil system utilizes a constant volume air handling unit and adds heating coils to the ductwork to provide individual room temperature control by heating the air supplied to the space through use of the booster coil. The perimeter classrooms are served by classroom unit ventilators. A classroom unit ventilator is a floor-mounted unit that is typically located on an outside wall with a fresh air intake box, a central supply fan, heating coil, and fresh air and return air dampers. The unit ventilators are served by the twopipe heating/cooling pumping circuit. The office air handling system is cooled by a separate air-cooled condensing unit that is piped to a direct-expansion cooling coil located within the air handling unit. The outdoor condensing unit is a newer Daikin unit that was recently replaced in The 2004 renovation project included the installation of the York water-cooled chiller. The chiller s condenser water side is cooled by a Baltimore Air Coil cooling tower that is located on the roof. The piping and pumping system for the chilled water plant is a single circuit constant flow system. Observations The air handling units serving the 1954 and 1966 areas are all original units. These units have exceeded their life expectancy of years. Many of the classroom unit ventilators are original to the building with a few newer units that were installed as part of the 2004 renovations. The original units have far exceeded their life expectancy of years. Van Brunt Elementary School 46

47 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - hvac The chiller, cooling tower, and pumping systems were all installed in This system is in good condition and should continue to serve the building for another years if properly maintained. Condensate piping serving some of the second floor unit ventilators was run on the exterior of the building. The piping was installed poorly and unevenly. A break in the piping run can be seen in the photo here. Recommendations Plans should be made for the eventual replacement of the aging air-handling units and classroom unit ventilators. The new air handling systems would utilize variable air volume technology with variable frequency drives on the supply fan motors as well as demandcontrol ventilation with carbon dioxide sensors in the return duct mains. date the current chilled water pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control to optimize system energy usage. Continue preventative maintenance on the chilled water system. With proper maintenance, this systems should continue to serve the building for another years. Re-pipe the condensate piping serving the second floor classroom unit ventilators. New routings within the building run to hub drains is recommended. Control Systems Existing Data Observations The temperature control system is a mixture of digital and pneumatic controls. The digital control portion is a Siebe/Invensys system, but the majority of the damper and valve actuation is still pneumatic, especially the 1964 equipment. The unit ventilators were updated with all digital control. The control systems appear to be in satisfactory condition. However the limitations of the pneumatic system do result in comfort complaints. Pneumatic systems require frequent calibration to maintain accuracy. The newer digital controls are more accurate and more flexible. In addition, the industry has made such a complete changeover to digital controls that it is becoming difficult to find good pneumatic service technicians. Recommendations Continue to maintain and operate the pneumatic control system as long as the current mechanical equipment remains. When any renovations to the existing equipment are made, a changeover to digital controls is strongly recommended. Horicon School District 47

48 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - electrical The original building construction date was not known; however, it was prior to The first addition was done in The facility was added to in 1966, 1992 and Main Electrical Service Observations A. The facility is fed with (2) separate services, the first being in the 1966 portion of the facility that was upgraded in The service is a 1200 amp 120/208 volt 3 phase 4 wire service fed from a utility transformer. The service meter of the panel indicted a peak demand of 523 amps. The service panel has no room for additional breakers. This service is fed from a utility pole overhead that goes down the pole underground into a pad mounted transformer. The pole and service are very close to the building. The utility transformer is 500 KVA. Due to limited room in the panel, we believe the main bus bas was tapped to add additional loads. The panel type is Cutler Hammer B. The second service located in the newest 2004 addition feeds the 1954 and 2004 additions. This service is 600 amps and is a 102/208 volt 3 phase 4 wire. The peak demand for this service was not known. Based on the square footage of the existing building we assume this service to be ½ loaded. This service has room for (7) additional 3-pole breakers. C. D. The 277/480 volt service in the 1994 section of the building is in good condition. The panel is a square D type with space for (2) additional breakers. The panel peak load indicated 385 kw which equated to approximately 465 amps. Recommendations A. The main electric service for the 2004 section of the facility is in good condition and can remain. We suggest exercising the breakers and cleaning the inside of the panel as part of an annual maintenance program by a certified company. The service ampacity is adequate for the size of the addition; however, if any new additions are added, this service will not be large enough. B. The service feeding the original portion of the building is not expandable as no additional space is remaining. This service also cannot be upgraded in the same location as the codes no longer would be met with panel clearance. We recommend replacing the service equipment with a new style switchboard and provide new breakers to feed all existing loads. Utility transformer serving service in original building Utility transformer feeding newer Gym addition Service in newest Gym Addition Service in original building and provide new bre Van Brunt Elementary School 48

49 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - electrical C. If a major renovation project occurs we would suggest providing (1) service to feed the entire facility with a generator. Panelboards Observations A. Various ages of panels are located throughout the building coinciding with the age of the addition. The 2004 section of the building have panels that are in good to fair condition. We noted a lot of panels with very limited room for additions. Some panels were updated in the The panels in the remainder of the facility are greater than 20 years old. Recommendations A. Replace all older vintage panelboards and fusible switches in the original section, 1954, 1966 and 1992 additions with new interiors and new breakers. B. We estimated approximately (15) panels in need of replacement. Generator Observations A. The building is fed with an exterior mounted, natural gas fed emergency backup generator. The set is located in the courtyard outside the Mechanical Room of the original section of the building. We believe it was installed in 1996 and is a 20 Kw set. The generator had a 60 amp 3 pole breaker mounted in the weather proof enclosure. The generator feeds a transfer switch and panel located on a wood platform above the mechanical equipment room. The panel feeds various loads throughout the school to include life safety and non-life safety loads. Recommendations A. A possible upgrade would be to provide a generator to power life safety loads such as egress lighting, exits, and fire alarm. The generator can also power non-life safety loads such as data closets, intercom, phone, and small HVAC pumps to circulate the water in the system to prevent freezing. The loads per code need to be separated with distribution equipment and two transfer switches. Currently the generator power life safety and non-life safety loads are fed off one panel. Also, due to the age of the generator, we would recommend replacement if the distribution equipment is updated. Lighting Fixtures and Controls Observations A. The lighting varies with the age of each addition. Some LED lighting is installed in the building interior. Example of Old Style Panelboard Exterior Emergency Generator Example of old style fixture with failing ballasts Horicon School District 49

50 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - electrical B. Most fluorescent lighting consists of 2 x4 lay-in and surface T8 fluorescent fixtures. These fixtures do not have dual level controls or occupancy sensors. We also noted 2x2 fluorescent fixtures with U Lamps. The U Lamp will also be hard to find replacements for in the near future. C. We noted varying lamp color in fixtures, a lot of burnt out ballasts and lamps. Lenses and fixtures are aged with the building construction. D. LED lighting was installed in the Administration area and Second Floor Training Room. E. Emergency lighting is done with the generator. We did not test the generator at the time of our walk-through to verify which fixtures are fed off of the generator set, but based on the interview with staff we believe the emergency lighting for evacuation purposes is not code compliant. F. Exit lights vary in age based on the addition. Some have been retrofitted with LED kits. G. We noted some incandescent and fluorescent PL screw in type lamps. These lamps will become increasingly hard to purchase. H. Exterior fixtures consist mostly of HID fixtures; as they fail the staff is replacing with LED type. I. Most rooms did not contain shut off motion sensor devices. J. Overall the lighting is dated and fixtures have exceeded their useful lifespan with exception of the fixtures in the 2004 addition and recently upgraded LED section. Recommendations A. Provide dual technology occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices to provide automatic lighting shut-off when rooms are unoccupied which will result in energy savings. B. Provide ultrasonic occupancy sensors in corridors to provide automatic lighting shut-off when rooms are unoccupied which will result in energy savings. C. A possible upgrade to all LED exterior lighting should be considered. Also in the older sections of the facility LED lighting should be considered to allow for upgraded lighting, dimmable options, increased lighting levels and additional energy savings. D. Study the facility in greater detail to determine if the egress lighting is up to current codes in all areas of the facility. We feel some areas of the facility lack proper coverage. The code now also requires egress doors on the exterior to provide emergency power fed off the generator. Example of 2x2 fluorescent fixtures with U lamps Example of exterior old style HID lamps Example of exterior HID fixtures Van Brunt Elementary School 50

51 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - electrical Wiring Devices Observations A. The receptacles and toggle switches vary in age and some may need replacement due to age or condition. We noted some old push button type switches and cloth covered cable existing in the older section of the facility. B. We noted of lot of wiring above the ceilings not strapped or supported properly. C. It was noted that many spaces in the older sections of the facility are lacking in receptacles. D. We noted a lot of broken receptacles and device plates thru out the buildings. Recommendations A. Replace any broken switches and receptacles. B. Add additional receptacles to classrooms and office areas as required. C. Replace receptacles located less than 6 from sinks with GFI protected type. Fire Alarm System Observations Examples of damaged and broken devices A. As additions were added to this facility the fire alarm system was expanded. The staff noted many problems exist currently with the fire alarm. The existing system is a notifier system located in the mechanical equipment room in the original section of the facility. The fire alrm system does not have a dialer. Recommendations A. Remove the existing system in its entirety and provide a new system throughout with proper coverage for horns, strobes and smokes. We noted this facility has open cubbies and requires smoke detection in all the corridors. Example of failing fire alarm device Clock System Observations A. The clock system is also failing and staff noted a lot of problems with the clocks. They are replacing the clocks with battery type as they fail. Some of the new battery type clocks are synchronized and some are not. Recommendations A. Provide a new school wide GPS battery powered clock system. Old Notifier Zone type fire alarm control panel Horicon School District 51

None of the existing wiring or devices were updated. B. The facility contains surface and recessed speakers throughout. Most are original to the building. C. The phones allow for access to the paging system. Recommendations D. Replace the existing devices throughout the facility with new speakers and wiring. Add additional devices as required in areas lacking coverage. Data System Observations A. A wireless bridge is installed to connect the High School to this facility. B. We believe there are (3) data distribution locations in this facility: Rooms 260, 119 and 354. A. We noted a lot of surface data cabling. B. Mostly Cat 5e cables are installed. We noted plenum and nonplenum cabling C. WAP devices in some areas of the facility are mounted below the ceiling. Recommendations A. A possible upgrade of all cabling to Cat 6 or Enhanced Cat 6 cabling may increase speed of the network. Remove all the existing cabling and surface raceway and provide new. B. Provide cooling to data MDF room. C. Provide true data closets with secure rooms, proper cooling, grounding and racks for mounting equipment. D. Provide an alternate method for connection to the High School. The District should consider a district owned hard wired end to end fiber connection or a hard wired connection through a provider such as cable company or phone company. CCTV System Observations A. There are (9( CCTV cameras located interior and exterior of the building. The system in coax wired and routed to a recording device. The system records to a hard drive. The system is old and in need of upgrading. Existing Intercom System Head End Example of Clock & Speakers Note this is a new clock replacing the original failed clock Example of damaged devices Data closet with portable air conditioning device Example of unstrapped cabling above ceilings Example of surface wiring in classrooms Van Brunt Elementary School 52

53 van brunt elementary school: engineer report - electrical Recommendations A. We would recommend replacement of the CCTV system to a new IP system to allow for network functions and update to new technology. Provide new recording through network onto a network drive. Access Control/Security System Observations A. The facility has (5) access controlled doors. The system manufacturer is a Vanderbilt based on staff interviews. This is a hard wired system and not IP based. Staff also indicated there are (2) separate systems in this facility, one in the 2003 additional and the other in the remainder of the building. We believe they use the same cards for both systems. Recommendations A. Provide a new networked keyless entry system and expand to all buildings in the district. This would allow for one seamless, network bases system with one data tree for staff and one software system to allow for easier management. CCTV viewing monitor Horicon School District 53

60 horicon junior high/senior high school: building systems summary The following is summary of Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical needs. Full engineers reports are located later in this document. Plumbing: The building is served by a 4 water service and a 3 Badger compound water meter; the water service is large enough to accommodate the current loads. Piping throughout the building is galvanized and original to the building, owner has reported issues; replace galvanized water piping with copper and add shut-off valves for system servicing. Continue to test and register all backflow preventers. Sanitary sewer and vent piping are mostly cast iron, in fair to good condition, and owner has reported issues; replace sanitary piping to the urinals at the front of the school, inspection with a camera of the existing sewer located below the floor is recommended, and replacement/repair depending outcome of scope. Rainwater is collected by roof drains to an underground storm sewer system, piping is mostly cast iron, in fair to good condition, and owner has reported issues during heavy rains, inspection with a camera of the existing sewer located below the floor is recommended, and replacement/repair depending outcome of scope. Kitchen dishwasher does not appear to have a grease interceptor, the three-compartment sink has a grease interceptor; provide interior grease interceptor for kitchen dishwasher and continue maintenance and servicing for the interceptor on the threecompartment sink. An acid basin is installed in the science work room; clean out acid basin and replace limestone with new. Hot water system is served by three A.O. Smith gas fired water heaters, one serves the water for the kitchen and dishwasher, equipment is in good condition; continue maintenance on the water heaters and water softener. A Simplex water softener provides treated water only to the hot water systems, was installed in 2016 and in good condition. Shop area has compressed air piping, is located in the adjacent shed, and is in good working condition. Tech. Ed. welding gases are provided via portable tanks. Plumbing (cont.): Plumbing fixtures are a combination of various styles and ages, with most of the fixtures original to the building age they were installed. Older water closets and lavatories should be replaced with new water conserving and ADA compliant fixtures. Urinals, wash fountains, and floor mount mop basins are in fair condition, and drinking fountains are in fair condition, with some having bottle fillers. Art room sinks are single basin stainless steel with plaster traps installed; clean out art room sink plaster traps and set up a regular maintenance schedule for this. Chemistry and Physics have acid resistant sinks and piping, no emergency eyewash fixtures are installed in these rooms, and all fixtures are in good working condition. Science classroom has acid resistant sinks and countertops, but standard waste piping, all fixtures are in good working condition, and an emergency combination drench shower / eyewash unit is installed; provide regular testing of emergency eyewash fixture. Locker rooms have a single shower stall that appears to be ADA compliant and several wall hung multi-user shower units. The fixtures are in good working condition. The building is not sprinkled; any major renovation or addition would require a fire protection system to be installed. One of the incoming water services would need to be replaced to accommodate the sprinkler system. HVAC: One hot water boiler plant serves the building, was installed in 2001, consists of four Thermal Solution hot water boilers, and is in good condition. The boilers and pumps should continue to serve for another years. Continue preventative maintenance; if a major renovation or addition is planned, recommend installing an additional set of supply and return piping. Insulation on piping is adequate thickness and in good condition. Owner indicated leaking issues and lacks adequate isolation valves. date the current pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control. Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 60

61 horicon junior high/senior high school: building systems summary HVAC (cont.): Air handling units serving the 1964 and 1992 portions are original to the building. The 1964 units have exceeded their life expectancy of years. The 1992 units are in satisfactory condition and should serve the building for another 7-12 years. Plans should be made for the replacement of the aging air handling units in the 1964 portion. The 1992 units could be refurbished or replaced as well. Rooftop unit and shop air handling unit serving the 2013 addition are in like-new condition. The rooftop unit should serve for another years. The indoor air handling unit should serve for another years. unit ventilators are original to the building with a few newer units installed in Most of the units have exceeded their life expectancy of years. The chiller, cooling tower, and pumping systems were installed in 2004, is in good condition, and should serve for another years. date the current chilled water pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control. Continue preventative maintenance on the chilled water system. Proper maintenance should continue these system to last another years. Control systems are in satisfactory condition, the limitations of the pneumatic system do result in comfort complaints. Continue to maintain and operate the pneumatic control system as long as the current mechanical equipment remains. When any renovations to the existing equipment are made, a changeover to digital controls is recommended. Electrical: Electrical service is fed with one service from a utility pad mounted transformer. The service feeds a utility termination compartment which feeds a bus duct directly to the main service switchgear. The service does not have a surge device installed. Main electrical service is a 3-phase 4 wire ITE type and is from 1964, and has a built in CT compartment. Due to limited space available in the switchgear, the main bus has an additional load, and is at the end of its useful lifespan. Replace the entire service with new due to its age and space restrictions. Remove existing termination section on the exterior. Panelboards are of various ages throughout the building and coincide to the age of installation. The 2013 panels are in good condition, with panels throughout having very limited room for additions, and are greater than 20 years old. Replace all older vintage panelboards and fusible switches in the original section with new interiors and new breakers. Approximately 25 panels are in need of replacement. An emergency backup generator feeds the building, is dated to the original construction and believe it is no longer operational. The generator feeds an old style transfer switch and a panel that have life safety and non-life safety loads. Possible upgrade would be to provide a generator to power life safety loads and nonlife safety loads. Per code the loads need to be separated with distribution equipment and two transfer switches. Due to the age of the generator we recommend replacement if the distribution equipment is updated. Recommend a thorough investigation of the emergency lighting. Lighting varies with the age of each addition. Most fluorescent lighting consists of T8 fixtures, these do not have dual level controls or occupancy sensors; provide dual technology occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices to provide automatic shut-off. Provide ultrasonic occupancy sensors in corridors to provide automatic shut-off. There are varying lamp color in fixtures, a lot of burnt out ballasts and lamps, and broken and aged lenses and fixtures. Horicon School District 61

62 horicon junior high/senior high school: building systems summary Electrical (cont.): Emergency lighting is done through the generator, and appears to no be code compliant for evacuation purposes. Exit lights vary in age based on addition, some have been retrofitted with LED kits. Study in greater detail to determine if egress lighting is up to current codes. Exterior fixtures are mostly HID fixtures; possible upgrade to all LED exterior lighting should be considered due to age and condition of the existing fixtures. Overall lighting is dated and fixtures have exceeded their useful lifespan with the exception of the 2013 addition. Receptacles and toggle switches vary in age and condition with some in need of replacement due to age or condition; replace any broken switches and receptacles. Wiring above the ceilings are not strapped or supported properly. Older sections of the building are lacking receptacles; add receptacles to classrooms and office areas as required. Replace receptacles located less than 6 from sinks with GFI protected type. A wireless bridge is installed to connect the Elementary/Middle School to this facility. Provide alternate method for connection to other school. Consider a district owned hard wired end to end fiber connection or hard wired connection through a provider. There are three data distribution locations. Provide proper cooling to data MDF room. Provide true data closets with secure rooms, proper cooling, grounding and racks for mounting equipment. There is a lot of surface data cabling consisting of Cat 5e cabling, both plenum and non-plenum. Possible upgrade of all cabling to Cat 6 or Enhanced Cat 6 cabling to increase speed of the network. Remove all existing cabling and surface raceways and provide new. CCTV system consists of 20 cameras throughout the interior and exterior. The system is coax wired and routed to a recording device; the system is old and in need of upgrading. Recommend replacement of CCTV system to a new IP system to allow for network functions and updated to new technology. Provide new recording thru network onto a network drive. The building has access controlled doors and is a Vanderbilt system, and is hard wired and not IP based. Provide a new networked keyless entry system and expand to all buildings in the district. This allows for one seamless network based system for easier management. New EST fire alarm system was added in 2013, some areas appear to not be code compliant. Provide greater in depth study to determine where deficiencies are present and add devices to bring up to code. The existing clock system is failing and owner indicated many issues with Simplex clocks. Clocks are being replaced with battery type as they fail. Provide a new school wide GPS battery powered clock system. Telcore intercom head end is failing, none of the existing wiring or devices were updated as part of any building additions. Surface and recessed speakers are original to the building; replace existing devices throughout with new speakers and wiring with the exception of the newer additions. Add additional devices as required. Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 62

75 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - hvac The original high school building was constructed in Additions and renovations occurred in 1992 and Heating System Existing Data Observations A single hot water boiler plant serves the building. The boiler plant was replaced in 2001 and consists of four (4) Thermal Solutions hot water boilers each fired with natural gas. Each boiler has a gross output capacity of 1,320,000 btu. The piping and pumping system for the boiler plant consists of multiple circuits in a primary/secondary constant flow arrangement with stand-by system pumps. Each boiler is served by a dedicated primary pump. For each secondary system circuit, if the primary pump fails, the stand-by pump will start and provide hot water circulation to the system. As can be seen with the pipe labeling in the photo below, one of the pumping circuits serves a two-pipe heating/cooling system which is manually changed over from heating to cooling in the spring and then back to heating in the fall. The boiler plant is in good condition. With proper maintenance, the boilers and pumps should continue to serve the facility for another years. Boiler water chemical systems are in place and are reported to be monitored and maintained on a regular basis. Insulation at most piping is of adequate thickness and in good condition. Piping is labeled throughout the facility. The two-pipe heating/cooling circuit is a method of providing both heating and cooling to an area of the building by only running one set of supply and return piping mains. It has limitations in which the area of the building served can only be in one mode of operation at a time. This means that spaces that need cooling while the system is in heating mode will not receive cooling until the entire system is manually changed over, and visa versa. The Owner indicated that the piping system does experience leaking issues and also lacks adequate isolation valves. Recommendations Continue preventative maintenance on the system. If a major renovation or building addition is planned, we recommend installing an additional set of supply and return piping alongside the two-pipe circuit to provide a proper four-pipe system that will allow for Horicon School District 75

76 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - hvac simultaneous heating and cooling during the transitional months in the spring and fall when needed. At that time the piping system leaking issues and the lack of adequate isolation valves could be addressed as well. date the current pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control to optimize system energy usage. Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems Existing Data There are multiples system types that provide ventilation for the facility. The systems are constant volume air handling systems with reheat, single-zone constant volume air handling systems, and classroom unit ventilators. Large volume spaces such as the gymnasiums are served by individual single-zone constant volume air handling units. Constant volume systems consist of a central supply fan, which contains a heating coil, cooling coil, fresh air and return air dampers. A room thermostat is used to control the temperature of the air supplied to the space. The interior classroom areas are served by constant volume air handling systems with hot water booster coils. A booster coil system utilizes a constant volume air handling unit and adds heating coils to the ductwork to provide individual room temperature control by heating the air supplied to the space through use of the booster coil. The perimeter classrooms are served by classroom unit ventilators. A classroom unit ventilator is a floor-mounted unit that is typically located on an outside wall with a fresh air intake box, a central supply fan, heating coil, and fresh air and return air dampers. The unit ventilators are served by the two-pipe heating/cooling pumping circuit. The 2013 addition is served by a packaged rooftop unit with a separate energy recovery unit that provides fresh air to the unit. The packaged rooftop unit contains a gas-fired heating section along with packaged cooling. The energy recovery unit draws exhaust from the building through an energy recovery wheel to pre-condition the incoming outside air. The technical education shop is served by a newer (2013) indoor air handling unit suspended from the roof structure within the shop space. The unit contains both hot water and chilled water coils. The welding exhaust and dust collection systems were installed new at that time as well as a gas-fired makeup air system to provide fresh makeup air for the exhaust systems. The office air handling system is cooled by a separate aircooled condensing unit that is piped to a direct-expansion cooling coil located within the air handling unit. The 2004 renovation project included the installation of the York water-cooled chiller. The chiller s condenser water side is cooled by a Baltimore Air Coil cooling tower that is located on Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 76

77 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - hvac Observations the roof. The piping and pumping system for the chilled water plant is a single circuit constant flow system. The air handling units serving the 1964 and 1992 areas are all original units. The 1964 units have exceeded their life expectancy of years. The 1992 units appear to be in satisfactory condition and should continue to serve the building for another 7-12 years. The rooftop unit, gas-fired makeup air unit, and shop air handling unit serving the 2013 addition are all in like-new condition. With proper maintenance, the rooftop unit and makeup air unit should continue to serve the building for another years. The indoor air handling unit should continue to serve the building for another years. The classroom unit ventilators are mostly original to the building with a few newer units that were installed as part of the 2004 renovations. The majority of the units have far exceeded their life expectancy of years. The chiller, cooling tower, and pumping systems were all installed in This system is in good condition and should continue to serve the building for another years if properly maintained. Recommendations Plans should be made for the eventual replacement of the aging air-handling units and classroom unit ventilators from At that time the 1992 units could either be refurbished or replaced as well. The new air handling systems would utilize variable air volume technology with variable frequency drives on the supply fan motors as well as demand-control ventilation with carbon dioxide sensors in the return duct mains. date the current chilled water pumping system from constant flow to a variable flow system by replacing the pump motor starters with variable frequency drives and incorporating system pressure differential control to optimize system energy usage. Continue preventative maintenance on the chilled water system. With proper maintenance, this systems should continue to serve the building for another years. Control Systems Existing Data Observations The temperature control system is a mixture of digital and pneumatic controls. The digital control portion is a Siebe/Invensys system, but the majority of the damper and valve actuation is still pneumatic, especially the 1964 equipment. The control systems appear to be in satisfactory condition. However the limitations of the pneumatic system do result in comfort complaints. Pneumatic systems require frequent calibration to maintain accuracy. The newer digital controls are more accurate and more flexible. In addition, the industry has made such a complete changeover to digital controls that it is becoming difficult to find good pneumatic service technicians. Horicon School District 77

78 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - hvac Recommendations Continue to maintain and operate the pneumatic control system as long as the current mechanical equipment remains. When any renovations to the existing equipment are made, a changeover to digital controls is strongly recommended. Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 78

79 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - electrical The original building construction date was 1964 with small additions to include a fitness center and classroom additions in 1992 and classroom additions in Main Electrical Service Observations A. The facility is fed with (1) service from a utility pad mounted 750 KVA transformer. The service is fed underground to the utility transformer. From the utility transformer it appears to feed a utility termination compartment just outside the main electrical equipment room. This termination compartment feed a bus duct directly into the main service switchgear in the boiler room. B. The main electric service is a 120/208 volt 3 phase 4 wire 3000 amp service ITE type and is original to the 1964 construction. The main service has a built in CT compartment and metering is done inside the gear line up. Due to limited space available in the switchgear we noted the main bus has been tapped to add an additional load. The gear is dated and at the end of its useful life. Typically, distribution of this age does not allow the breakers to clear a fault or if it does clear a fault, the age of the breakers and lack of exercising does not allow for reset. C. We noted the service does not have a surge device. Recommendations A. Replace the entire service with new due to its age and space restrictions. Remove the existing termination section on the exterior. Panelboards Observations A. Various ages of panels are located throughout the building coinciding with the age of the addition. The 2013 section of the building has panels that are in good condition. We noted a lot of panels with very limited room for additions in all areas of the existing building. The panels in the remainder of the facility are greater than 20 years old. Recommendations A. Replace all older vintage panelboards and fusible switches in the original section with new interiors and new breakers. B. We estimated approximately (25) panels in need of replacement.

80 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - electrical Generator Observations A. The building is fed with an emergency backup generator located in the boiler room. The generator is dated to the original construction of the facility and we believe it is no longer operational. We did not try to start the generator at the time of our walk-through. B. The generator feeds an old style transfer switch and a panel that has life safety and non-life safety loads. Recommendations A. A possible upgrade would be to provide a generator to power life safety loads such as egress lighting, exits, and fire alarm. The generator can also power non-life safety loads such as data closets, intercom, phone, and small HVAC pumps to circulate the water in the system to prevent freezing. Per code, the loads need to be separated with distribution equipment and (2) transfer switches. Currently, the generator powers life safety and non-life safety loads off (1) panel. Also, due to the age of the generator we would recommend replacement if the distribution equipment is updated. B. We would also recommend a more thorough investigation of the emergency lighting and how it is fed from the generator. We believe there may be code deficiencies based on the panel labels and investigation of circuits. Lighting Fixtures and Controls Observations A. The lighting varies with the age of each addition. B. Most fluorescent lighting consists of 2 x4 lay-in and surface T8 fluorescent fixtures. These fixtures do not have dual level controls or occupancy sensors in the older section of the facility. We also noted 2x2 fluorescent fixtures with U Lamps. The U Lamp will also be hard to find replacements in the near future. C. We noted varying lamp color in fixtures, a lot of burnt out ballasts and lamps. Lenses and fixtures are broken and aged with the building construction. D. Emergency lighting is done with the generator. We did not test the generator at the time of our walk-through to verify which fixtures are fed off of the generator set, but based on the interview with staff, we believe the proper emergency lighting for evacuation purposes is not code compliant. E. Exit lights vary in age based on the addition. Some have been retrofitted with LED kits. F. We noted some incandescent and fluorescent PL screw in type lamps. These lamps will become increasingly hard to purchase. Existing Generator Exterior Lighting Fixtures with missing lenses Old style fixtures Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 80

81 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - electrical addition. Recommendations A. Provide dual technology occupancy sensors in classrooms and offices to provide automatic lighting shut-off when rooms are unoccupied which will result in energy savings. B. Provide ultrasonic occupancy sensors in corridors to provide automatic lighting shut-off when rooms are unoccupied which will result in energy savings. C. A possible upgrade to all LED exterior lighting should be considered due to age and condition of the existing fixtures. LED lighting should be considered to allow for upgraded lighting, dimmable options, increased lighting levels and additional energy savings. D. Study the facility in greater detail to determine if the egress lighting is up to current codes in all areas of the facility. We feel some areas of the facility lack proper coverage. The code now also requires egress doors on the exterior to provide emergency power fed off the generator. Wiring Devices Observations A. The receptacles and toggle switches vary in age and some may need replacement due to age or condition. We noted some old push button type switches and cloth covered cable existing in the older section of the facility. B. We noted of lot of wiring above the ceilings not strapped or supported properly. C. It was noted that many spaces in the older sections of the facility are lacking in receptacles. D. We noted a lot of broken receptacles and device plates throughout the buildings. E. Recommendations A. Replace any broken switches and receptacles. B. Add additional receptacles to classrooms and office areas as required. C. Replace receptacles located less than 6 from sinks with GFI protected type. Old style exit Existing wiring condition Horicon School District 81

82 horicon junior high/senior high school: engineer report - electrical Fire Alarm System Observations A. A new EST fire alarm system was added, we believe, as part of the 2013 addition. Most of the devices are updated; however, we believe some areas are not up to code compliance. Recommendations A. Provide a greater in depth study to determine were deficiencies are present and add devices to existing system to bring up to current code. Clock System Observations A. The clock system is also failing and staff noted a lot of problems with the existing Simplex clocks. They are replacing the clocks with battery type as they fail. Some of the new battery type clocks are synchronized and some are not. Recommendations A. Provide a new school wide GPS battery powered clock system. Public Address System Observations A. The intercom head end is a Telcore. Based on staff interviews this system is failing. None of the existing wiring or devices were updated as part of any building additions. B. The facility contains surface and recessed speakers throughout. Most are original to the building. C. The phones allow for access to the paging system. Recommendations Examples of Clocks and Speakers D. Replace the existing devices throughout the facility with new speakers and wiring with the exception of newer building additions. Add additional devices as required in areas lacking coverage. Data System Observations A. A wireless bridge is installed to connect the Elementary / Middle School to this facility. B. We believe there are (3) data distribution locations in this facility: Rooms 406, 444, 419. A. We noted a lot of surface data cabling. B. Mostly Cat 5e cables are installed. We noted plenum and nonplenum cabling. Horicon Junior High/Senior High School 82
