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.

The Controlled Air Difference

By handling everything from the certified air balancing and start-up testing to the permits and gas meter coordination, Controlled Air ensured that Yanmar could focus on their business while we handled their building.

We are thrilled to hand over a facility that is energy-efficient, structurally sound, and controlled by the latest in building automation technology.

WEBINAR SERIES SCHEDULE:

Learn The Basics: How to be Green, Resilient and Save Money.

Wednesday June 17, 2 PM Eastern

This introductory session reviews the pieces required to reach your goals to be Green, Resilient, Save Money. Later sessions focus on how acquire the pieces and put them all together.

Free Backup Generator.

Wednesday June 24, 2 PM Eastern.

A backup generator is key piece required to protect your organization with resiliency. Unfortunately, most organizations can’t afford one. Learn how to get one for free.

Batteries vs Backup generator.

Wednesday July 1, 2 PM Eastern.

Batteries are all the rage. Prices have fallen significantly over the past few years, but is a battery the right solution for your resiliency and cost savings needs? Learn which solution makes sense for your organization.

Free Battery for your Business.

Wednesday July 8 2 PM Eastern.

Batteries are expensive, but in certain circumstances the economics are sufficiently compelling to allow Exergy to provide your organization a battery for free. Learn when and how to receive your battery backup system.

Is Rooftop Solar a Good Idea?

Wednesday July 15, 2 PM Eastern.

Most organizations start with rooftop solar. Unfortunately, due to the complexities of demand charges and net metering, rooftop solar often costs more money. There are better, and less expensive, ways to achieve your green goals. Learn more about the options available with Exergy Energy to adopt renewable energy for your organization.

Electricity Bills Made Easy.

Wednesday July 22, 2 PM Eastern.

Ever look at your electricity bill? What are all those charges??? Energy costs have declined for the past few years, but electricity bills continue to increase. Why??? For many, the non-energy costs can total more than half of your organization’s electricity bill. Learn what you are actually paying for, and how to manage it simply with Exergy Energy.

Helping Solar and Wind Power Succeed.

Wednesday July 29, 2 PM Eastern.

Solar and wind are intermittent resources that require other generation to stabilize the grid. Learn how backup generators, batteries, and rooftop solar play an important part in helping renewables succeed.

Painless Demand Response.

Wednesday August 5, 2 PM Eastern.

Reducing your energy demand during peak times sounds like a great idea. But is it worth the operational disruption and intrusion, especially as energy prices continuing to decline? There are better ways to help the grid with Exergy Energy that doesn’t require us shouldering the pain.
