A UNIQUE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Installing equipment to represent a half dozen trades in both commercial
and residential construction in a 21,000-square-foot building might bring to
mind crowded rooms and a claustrophobic training experience. Yet, every
mechanical room, lab, and lecture hall is roomy and bright and neat enough to
convince visitors that the building fills a city block.
Key to the big-building illusion is lines of sight. While the two DriSteem
humidification systems are installed in the same mechanical room, they are
out of each others' line of sight. Walking from one humidifier to the other
requires only a few steps, but the short walk encompasses completely separate
technology types, separate airstreams, and vastly different volumes of treated
air. The control system independently senses and displays each airstream's
temperature, relative humidity, dew point, outside air percentage, duct
pressure, and supply and return volumetric flow rate..
Another decision, this one for the purpose of immersion, was to keep the
commercial and residential areas separated physically as well as visually.
Students moving from one area to the other get a true sense of the difference
between commercial and residential environments..
DriSteem is proud to partner with an institution that provides thousands of
students with positive, hands-on experiences that will prepare them for success
as HVAC professionals..
