This article describes a unique HVAC system which includes thermal storage, cold air distribution and parallel fan powered boxes to meet Standard 62-89 recommendations, and meet building restrictions imposed by the Washington, DC building code. The Watergate Hotel-Apartment-Office Complex is a prominent facade along the banks of the Potomac River in Washington, DC. Nestled between the Kennedy Center and Washington Harbor, the complex is positioned to provide Class A office space while commanding top Washington, DC rental rates. Unfortunately, the original HVAC system will not provide the quality environment demanded by tenants searching for Class A office space in the 1990s.
