Large-Scale MEP Case Studies

Challenge

Aging central chiller plant causing frequent breakdowns and rising energy bills across a 15-year-old high-rise. The building was experiencing 3–4 major failures per summer, resulting in tenant complaints and an occupancy rate drop.

Solution

Full chiller replacement with high-efficiency Carrier 30XA units (600TR capacity), BMS integration via Honeywell Niagara, and new variable-speed drives on all 12 AHUs. We also installed smart sub-metering on each floor to track consumption.

Challenge

Multi-tenant office requiring zoned climate control with strict LEED certification requirements. The existing split-system setup could not deliver the granularity or efficiency needed for Gold certification.

Solution

Complete VRF system design with Daikin VRV-X series, dedicated outdoor air units with energy recovery wheels, CO₂-based demand ventilation using Belimo sensors, and BACnet-integrated smart scheduling across 6 tenant zones.

Challenge

Coastal salt-air corrosion destroying outdoor condensers every 3–4 years, leading to costly replacements for each villa. Homeowners also reported inconsistent cooling and high DEWA bills during summer peaks.

Solution

Marine-grade Daikin units with Blue Fin anti-corrosion coating on all coils, custom fresh-air ventilation with MERV-13 filtration, and a bundled preventive AMC program including quarterly coil washing and refrigerant checks.
