Controlled Air was asked to review the current equipment and provide options to: 

• Bring operating room air changes into compliance with current code requirements 

• Resolve persistent humidity issues 

• Improve temperature and comfort control for surgical staff 

HVAC Engineering Assessment 

A comprehensive evaluation by Controlled Air’s in‑house engineering team determined that the existing systems were originally designed in the early 1990s and no longer met modern operating room requirements. 

Key HVAC System deficiencies identified included: 

• Air handling equipment undersized for effective dehumidification 

• Insufficient reheat capacity to maintain staff comfort 

• Inability of the central chilled water system to deliver the low water temperatures required for proper latent moisture removal during summer conditions 

• Operating room airflow levels substantially below the current minimum requirement of 20 air changes per hour 

These conditions contributed to challenges in maintaining temperature, relative humidity, and airflow compliance within the surgical suites. 

Controlled Air’s Design/Build Solution 

Recognizing the urgency and regulatory importance of these issues, the hospital elected to move forward with Controlled Air’s design/build solution. 

The proposed system retrofit includes: 

• A new dedicated air handling unit capable of delivering code‑mandated airflow rates 

• A chilled water coil selected to achieve the desired leaving air temperature at increased airflow, ensuring proper dehumidification 

• A new air‑cooled chiller engineered to supply lower chilled water temperatures independent of the existing central plant 

To enhance system reliability, the design incorporates a remote evaporator configuration that eliminates the need for glycol antifreeze. This approach allows a direct tie‑in to the hospital’s existing chilled water system, providing redundancy in the event of air‑cooled chiller downtime. 

Project Status and Next Steps 

The project is currently under contract, with completion scheduled for the end of this year. 

A parallel phase of work will add reheat coils and upgraded controls in surgery support areas, further improving occupant comfort while maintaining precise relative humidity control within the operating suites. 

Why It Matters 

By addressing airflow deficiencies, improving dehumidification, and adding system redundancy, the Hospital will gain: 

• Safer surgical environments with consistent temperature and humidity control 

• Improved staff comfort and performance during long procedures 

• Reduced regulatory and accreditation risk through code compliant design 

• Greater system resilience, minimizing downtime and operational disruption 

• A HVAC System ready for increasing standards and regulations.  

A well-designed operating room HVAC system is not just a facilities upgrade, it is a direct investment in patient care quality, clinical efficiency, and long-term operational reliability.

The post Controlled Air, Yanmar Energy Systems and Tedom align under Yanmar Energy Systems North America appeared first on Controlled Air, Inc..

Overview 

When an existing commercial utility facility required a complete mechanical refresh of its heating and cooling systems, the project team—working from a plan-and-spec design—turned to Controlled Air, Inc. to execute the installation. What followed was a coordinated effort that replaced aging, inefficient boilers with a new high efficiency boiler, upgraded the chilled water plant with a larger, quieter Trane air cooled chiller, and uncovered a hidden piping leak that had been quietly wasting water and driving up utility costs for years. 

The Result

projected energy savings of 20–30%, improved system capacity, reduced noise impact on the surrounding property, and a facility that is better positioned for future expansion. 

Boiler Replacement: Switching to Lochinvar for Faster Delivery and Higher Efficiency 

The Challenge 

The existing heating plant relied on standard atmospheric boilers that, at their best, operated at approximately 75% thermal efficiency. As the equipment aged, performance degraded further, meaning a significant portion of every energy dollar spent on natural gas was going straight up the flue. The client had a completion deadline, and lead times on the originally specified equipment threatened to push the project well past that window. 

The Solution 

Working within the plan-and-spec framework, the installation team pivoted to Lochinvar’s FTXL850 high-efficiency condensing boiler—a decision driven by two factors: superior availability and significantly better performance. The Lochinvar FTXL850 operates on natural gas at 97% thermal efficiency, representing a dramatic improvement over the legacy equipment. 

To keep the project on the client’s accelerated schedule, Controlled Air’s mobile boiler was brought online during the transition period, allowing the building to maintain heat while the permanent equipment was installed. This approach kept the project moving without sacrificing occupant comfort. 

Scope of Work 

The boiler replacement involved more than just swapping equipment. The full scope included: 

• Installation of the new Lochinvar FTXL850 natural gas condensing boiler (97% AFUE) 

• Decommissioning and closure of the existing flue system 

• Design and installation of a new flue and exhaust configuration appropriate for high-efficiency condensing operation 

• Temporary mobile boiler deployment to maintain heating continuity during construction 

Efficiency Impact 

The jump from roughly 75% efficiency (legacy boilers) to 97%+ (Lochinvar FTXL850) is not a marginal gain—it is a fundamental transformation of how the building uses energy. For every unit of gas consumed, the new system extracts substantially more usable heat. Over the course of a heating season, that difference adds up to measurable reductions in fuel consumption and utility costs. 

Trane Air Cooled Chiller: Expanded Capacity, R-454B Refrigerant, and Quieter Operation 

The Upgrade 

The chilled water system received an equally significant overhaul with the installation of a new Trane high-efficiency air cooled chiller. The replacement unit was intentionally sized larger than the original equipment—a forward-thinking decision that gives the facility the capacity to accommodate an additional chilled water coil as the building’s cooling needs growth. 

Refrigerant: R-454B 

The new Trane unit operates on R-454B refrigerant, a lower global warming potential (GWP) alternative that aligns with evolving environmental regulations and positions the facility for long-term compliance. As HFC phase-down requirements continue to take effect, buildings with updated refrigerants will face fewer regulatory hurdles and potentially lower service costs. 

Noise Reduction: A Quiet Package for Community Compatibility 

One of the specification requirements for this project was minimizing the acoustic impact of the new outdoor condensing unit. The Trane unit was selected and configured with a quiet package designed to reduce sound levels at the property line—an increasingly important consideration as municipalities across Connecticut and Rhode Island continue to strengthen noise ordinance enforcement. 

For facilities in mixed-use areas, near residential zones, or in communities with active noise regulations, specifying a quiet-package condensing unit is a straightforward way to prevent compliance issues before they arise. Engineers and general contractors should consider acoustic performance alongside energy efficiency when selecting outdoor HVAC equipment. 

Projected Savings 

Taken together, the boiler and condensing unit upgrades are projected to deliver 20–30% savings in overall energy consumption compared to the previous system. Factors driving those savings include: 

• Higher thermal efficiency from condensing boiler technology (75% → 97%+) 

• Modern compressor and refrigerant circuit efficiency in the new Trane unit 

• Elimination of standby losses associated with aging equipment 

• Right-sized cooling capacity that reduces short-cycling and improves system runtime efficiency 

Bonus Find: Repairing a Hidden Piping Leak 

During the course of the project, the installation team identified a leak in the piping connecting the air cooled chiller to the building’s chilled water system. The leak, located at the exterior connection point, had gone undetected and was causing the system to consume excess makeup water—an ongoing operational cost that the facility’s management team likely did not realize they were carrying. 

Repairing the leak was incorporated into the project scope, stopping the waste and restoring the system to proper operating condition. It is a straightforward example of the value that an experienced installation team brings to a project: the ability to recognize when something is wrong, communicate it clearly, and fix it—rather than simply completing the contracted scope and moving on. 

Key Takeaways

This project illustrates several principles that are worth carrying into future mechanical retrofits and new construction specifications: 

• Equipment availability matters. When lead times threaten a project schedule, there are often high-performance alternatives that meet or exceed the original specification. Flexibility in the procurement process—without sacrificing efficiency targets—can keep projects on track. 

• Condensing boiler technology delivers real returns. The efficiency gap between standard boilers and modern condensing units is substantial. For any project where natural gas heating is part of the design, condensing boilers should be the baseline specification, not an upgrade. 

• Refrigerant selection has long-term implications. Specifying R-454B and similar next-generation refrigerants now avoids costly retrofits as HFC regulations tighten in the coming years. 

• Acoustic performance is a specification item. In municipalities with noise ordinances—and their number is growing—quiet-package equipment is not a luxury; it is a risk management tool. 

• Site observation has value. Scheduled walkthroughs and attentive installation teams catch problems—like the piping leak on this project—that save clients money and prevent larger failures downstream. 

The post High-Efficiency HVAC Upgrade: Boiler Replacement and Condensing Unit Modernization Deliver 20–30% Energy Savings  appeared first on Controlled Air, Inc..

At Controlled Air, Inc., we eliminate those friction points through our Design-Build delivery. By integrating engineering, custom fabrication, and installation into a single-source solution, we take full responsibility for your facility’s climate and energy future. Not only does it save time, but it saves cost as well, by eliminating the need for a separate engineer and/or construction manager.  

Design-Build vs. Traditional Plan-Spec 

Why Single-Source Responsibility Wins 

1. The “No Finger-Pointing” Guarantee 

In a typical project, if a control sequence fails or a unit doesn’t fit the roof curb, the contractor blames the engineer, and the engineer blames the installer. With Controlled Air, that conflict is eliminated. Because we are the engineer and the installer, we own the outcome. If a challenge arises, we solve it internally without the multiple change orders. 

2. Accelerated “Speed to Market” 

Time is the greatest cost of construction. Our Design-Build model allows us to overlap phases. We can begin site preparation, equipment procurement (critical for long-lead items), and in-house duct fabrication while the final engineering stamps are being applied. This typically reduces project schedules by 10–30%. 

3. In-House Precision 

Our Branford facility houses specialized sheet metal fabrication and piping departments. Unlike firms that outsource these critical components, we manufacture to the exact specifications of our design team. This ensures that what is drawn in CAD is exactly what is installed in the field. 

The Specialized Advantage: Efficiency-Driven Design 

While the Design-Build model provides the structure, our specialty in energy efficiency provides the value. We don’t just build systems that work; we build systems that pay you back.

• Our Energy Specialty: Because energy efficiency is our core focus, it makes for a better Design-Build process. We use advanced modeling to “right-size” equipment, ensuring you aren’t paying for excess capacity that wastes energy and increases maintenance costs. 
• Integrated Controls: We design the mechanical hardware and the Building Automation System (BAS) simultaneously. This ensures “native” communication between systems, preventing the energy-wasting “fighting” between heating and cooling cycles common in piecemeal installs. 
• Futureproofing: Our designs account for 2026 sustainability standards and ROI-driven technologies like Gas Heat Pumps and Cogeneration (CHP) from the very first sketch. 

Long-Term Facility Value 

An HVAC system is a 20-year investment. A Design-Build project with Controlled Air focuses on the Total Cost of Ownership, not just the initial bid. 

• Serviceability by Design: Because we also provide 24/7 service, our engineers design systems that are actually maintainable. We don’t bury components in inaccessible corners; we design for a lifetime of easy access and lower repair costs. 
• Enhanced Asset Value: A high-efficiency, well-documented Design-Build system increases a building’s “Green” rating and marketability, protecting the owner’s equity against rising utility costs.

The Section 179D Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction, a staple of the industry for two decades, is officially scheduled to sunset on June 30, 2026, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).

For building owners, developers, and designers, the message is clear: If you haven’t started construction by mid-summer, you are leaving up to $5.94 per square foot on the table.

What’s at Stake? (The 2026 Numbers)

Thanks to the latest IRS inflation adjustments (Rev. Proc. 2025-32), the 2026 deduction rates are the highest they have ever been. Depending on your project’s labor standards and efficiency gains, the potential savings are substantial.

The Two Pathways

1. The Base Rate: For projects that achieve at least 25% energy savings but do not meet specific labor requirements, the deduction ranges from $0.59 to $1.19 per sq. ft.
2. The Bonus Rate (PWA): For projects that meet Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship (PWA) requirements, the deduction jumps significantly to a range of $2.97 to $5.94 per sq. ft.

To calculate your maximum potential benefit, you can use the following logic:

$$\text{Total Deduction} = \text{Building Area (sq. ft.)} \times \text{Applicable Dollar Value (up to \$5.94)}$$

For a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse or office complex, that is a swing of nearly $600,000 in immediate tax relief.

The “Beginning of Construction” Trap

The most critical detail of the 2026 sunset is the definition of “Beginning Construction.” You do not need to finish the project by June 30, but you must prove you started. The IRS typically recognizes two methods:

• The Physical Work Test: This requires “significant physical work” to have begun. In our industry, this means foundation excavation, setting anchor bolts, or permanent installation of components. Preliminary site clearing or design work does not count.
• The 5% Safe Harbor: You must have paid or incurred at least 5% of the total cost of the energy-efficient property before the deadline.

Why Proactive Planning Matters Now

Waiting until May to “talk to the engineers” will be too late. To secure this deduction, a project requires:

1. Energy Modeling: A third-party professional must model the building against the ASHRAE 90.1 standards to certify the 25%+ savings. Although the IRS does not mandate a specific modeling protocol, it is an accepted way of demonstrating the savings for the deduction. The modeling procedures come from regulation and practice. Controlled Air utilizes Carrier’s Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) to provide the precise energy modeling required for high-performance building design. This software is an industry standard for performing the 8,760-hour simulations necessary to demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 and federal tax requirements. By leveraging this ASHRAE-approved tool, we ensure your facility’s projected energy savings are both technically accurate and professionally certified.
2. PWA Documentation: If you are aiming for the $5.94 bonus rate, your payroll and apprenticeship records must be airtight from day one.
3. Designer Allocation: For government or non-profit buildings, the tax-exempt owner can allocate this deduction to the Primary Designer (architect, engineer, or design-build contractor). This is not automatic, but an eligible entity can allocate the deduction.

The Bottom Line

Section 179D has been a cornerstone for financing HVAC retrofits, lighting upgrades, and high-performance building envelopes. After June 30, that “extra” capital disappears from the market.

Is your pipeline ready? Our team is currently prioritizing site audits and energy modeling for clients looking to lock in their 179D eligibility before the summer deadline.

We are proud to announce the successful completion of a massive HVAC integration for the Yanmar Tractor and Parts Warehouses. For this project, Controlled Air served as the lead organizer and turnkey provider, delivering a seamless “design-to-execution” experience that modernized the climate control for two massive industrial spaces.

Here is a look behind the scenes at how Controlled Air managed this complex infrastructure project.

The Scope: Total Project Management

This was not a simple “swap and drop” equipment changeout. This was a comprehensive facility upgrade. 

Beyond the mechanical installation, our team managed the critical logistics to keep the project running smoothly:

• Structural & Architectural: We handled the structural reviews and the installation of pre-engineered deck support systems to safely hold the new heavy-duty equipment.
• Roofing & Rigging: From crane rentals and rigging to the necessary roofing repairs and curb installations, we ensured the building envelope remained secure.
• Utilities & Safety: We managed the complete gas piping infrastructure, electrical connections, and fire alarm tie-ins (including duct smoke detectors).

The Technology: High-Efficiency Synergy

One of the most exciting aspects of this project was the equipment selection. We paired high-performance air handling with Yanmar’s own cutting-edge engine technology.

To condition this massive space, we furnished and installed a robust system designed for longevity and efficiency:

• Air Handling: Seven (7) Aaon 30-ton Rooftop AHUs, fully equipped with VFD blowers for energy efficiency and a high-grade filtration system using MERV 8 and MERV 13 filters.
• Heating & Cooling: These units are powered by fourteen (14) Yanmar 14-ton Gas Heat Pumps (GHP). This 2-pipe natural gas system utilizes Yanmar’s engine technology to provide efficient heating and cooling with reduced electrical demand.
• Reliability: The system includes custom 14″ roof curbs, stainless steel drain pans, and vibration isolation to ensure quiet, long-term operation.

2. The Parts Warehouse

Similar to the tractor facility, the parts warehouse received a top-tier upgrade:

• Three (3) Aaon 30-ton Rooftop AHUs paired with six (6) Yanmar 14-ton GHPs.
• This setup ensures that valuable inventory is kept at consistent temperatures while maintaining high air quality standards through double-wall cabinets and advanced filtration.

Intelligent Controls

Controlled Air furnished and installed a complete Johnson Controls ecosystem to tie the entire facility together.

We deployed panel-mounted controllers across both warehouses, complete with all necessary sensors, relays, and current switches. For the Parts Warehouse, we installed a Johnson Controls Supervisory front-end controller. This web-based user interface allows facility managers to monitor the system remotely, ensuring peak performance and immediate diagnostics.

Ignoring fall maintenance doesn’t just put your equipment at risk; it puts your entire operation—from tenant comfort to energy budgets—in jeopardy. Think of fall maintenance as your building’s seasonal insurance policy: it ensures safety, maximizes efficiency, and prevents costly, inconvenient failures when the weather turns truly cold.

The Critical Benefits of Fall Maintenance

The return on investment (ROI) for preventative fall maintenance far outweighs the cost of a service visit. Here’s why proactive service is non-negotiable for commercial properties:

• Maximize Heating Efficiency (and Savings): When components are dirty, worn, or misaligned, your furnace or boiler has to work harder to produce the same heat. A tune-up ensures the system operates at its peak Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), directly translating into lower energy bills throughout the winter.
• Prevent Dangerous Failures: For gas-fired heating systems, safety is paramount. Technicians check for cracks in the heat exchanger (which can lead to carbon monoxide leaks) and ensure all gas lines and ignition systems are functioning correctly, protecting occupants and property.
• Extend Equipment Lifespan: Like any complex machinery, proper cleaning and calibration reduce stress on critical moving parts. This preventative care delays the need for expensive unit replacement, maximizing the useful life of your major capital equipment.
• Protect Against Winter Breakdowns: The worst time for your boiler or furnace to fail is during a winter freeze. Fall maintenance identifies worn parts (like contactors or blower motor bearings) that are likely to fail under continuous winter load, allowing you to replace them on your schedule, not in an emergency.

Equipment Serviced During a Fall HVAC Tune-Up

A comprehensive fall maintenance program covers all heating elements and prepares the ventilation system for seasonal changes. The equipment typically serviced includes:

1. Heating Equipment (Furnaces, Boilers, Unit Heaters)

This is the central focus of a fall check-up, ensuring the system can safely and efficiently generate heat.

2. Air Handling & Distribution

The system that moves the heat must also be optimized for winter operation.

3. Controls and Sensors

The “brains” of the system must be calibrated for seamless, efficient operation.

Proactive fall maintenance is a fundamental pillar of effective facility management, guaranteeing that your building stays safe, comfortable, and efficient all winter long.

If you have a contract we automatically scheduled your preventative maintenance. If you don’t have a contract, reach out and get a no obligation service contract proposal. Would you like to schedule a fall maintenance check for your commercial building’s HVAC system?
