CAT is more than 25% of the total size of all of NAIT\u2019s main Campus buildings combined, and is 60% larger than NAIT\u2019s second largest building, the HP Centre. The building has been fitted with the Reliable Controls MACH-System\u2122, which has aided in the building\u2019s LEED\u00ae Gold certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reliable Controls Authorized Dealer, Serv-All Mechanical Services, Ltd., successfully completed this new construction project for the NAIT CAT facility, which resulted in LEED Gold certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The networked, MACH-System\u2122 hardware is connected to an operator workstation, which is installed on an internal IP network. Operators and facility managers use the workstation to access the full BACnet\u00ae-enabled system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mechanical equipment onsite includes BACnet-enabled chillers, boiler, and variable frequency drives (VFDs). Additionally, hard point control to air systems, heat pumps, standalone A\/C units, VAV boxes, and fan coils are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chilled beams and chilled radiation panels make this project special. The project is unique because exhaust air from the basement is used to pressurize the parkade for heating and ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Achieving proper pressures from the 5-storey atrium to the outside proved to be a challenge, as did balancing the pressure from the parkade and basement with the parkade doors opening and closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This LEED Gold certified facility is projected to realize substantial energy savings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre for Applied Technology (CAT) is the largest building on Northern Alberta Institute of Technology\u2019s (NAIT) Main Campus, covering 51,600 square meters while hosting approximately 5,000 full-time students.
