Re: HVAC Improvements at the Cheshire High School
Proposal # 2021-10
S/P+A Project No. 21.073
Dear Mr. Noewatne:
Silver / Petrucelli + Associates is pleased to present our team of experienced professionals whose portfolio of
similar work, we believe, is precisely what the Town of Cheshire is seeking for HVAC improvements at Cheshire
High School.
The Town of Cheshire deserves a design team that
understands the challenges of HVAC replacement. Our
firm’s proven ability to develop responsive, budget-
controlled HVAC projects is evidenced by work that we
have accomplished on several similar projects. These
include a massive boiler and chiller plant replacement at
Foran High School in Milford which required careful
phasing of its two boilers and larger chilled water plant,
coordinating schedules around both the student occupancies
and the public use of the aquatic center.
We have also designed the installation of air conditioning,
dehumidification and ventilation systems in facilities that
previously were only heated. Projects have been completed
in Norwalk, Hamden, North Branford and North Haven.
All of these projects involved central boilers, central
chillers, and four-pipe hydronic systems. Our architects
and engineers conducted the required research, prepared construction documents, and provided critical support
during the bid and construction phases for all of these projects which were delivered under budget.
Most recently, school districts have been advised that ensuring a good flow of fresh air helps dissipate any
COVID virus that might find its way inside their school buildings. Our engineers are assisting the Towns of
Fairfield and Guilford with evaluations of their school ventilation systems as these school systems assure
educators, parents and students of safe hybrid and in-school learning environments.
We recently completed HVAC replacement on
Windsor’s JFK Elementary School.

Our in-house technical knowledge and expertise in HVAC design will prove to be valuable in developing design
solutions that are consistent with your schedule and budget. Unlike other Connecticut firms, having an integrated
in-house team of architects, M/E/P/FP engineers, interior designers, specifications writers, code consultants and
construction administrators creates great momentum in reaching project goals. In addition to Professional
Engineer, AIA, and NCIDQ registrations, staff hold building official credentials and LEED accreditation.
We have completed a number of projects at the High School and other Cheshire schools. These include:
• ADA code improvements at Cheshire High
School
• Cheshire High School concession stand &
pergola
• Cheshire High School window replacement
• Cheshire High School storage building
• Replacement of the H.S. gym floor
• Norton ES Toilet Renovations
• HVAC and dehumidification design services for
the tunnel structures running underneath Cheshire
High School
• Media center space study at the Highland School
• Chapman Elementary School window
replacement
• Doolittle Toilet Renovations
Silver / Petrucelli + Associates is supported by
leading edge computing and workplace technology
for design, programming, drawing documentation and
production, project management, scheduling,
specification, and construction administration.
Advanced 3D technologies such as Revit and virtual
reality, are fully integrated in house to enhance
conceptual design planning. This includes secure
BIM 360 for “cloud” coordination during the Covid
pandemic, delivering superior coordinated designs
as we pivoted to work remotely.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 203-230-9007 x206 or [email protected]. Thank
you for the opportunity to continue working with the Town of Cheshire.
Sincerely,
William R. Silver, AIA

We have been providing services in Connecticut since 1991. From our most treasured historic buildings to state-of-the-art learning facilities and modern workspaces, the firm takes a practical architecture and progressive design approach to each project. Projects include new construction, renovate-as-new, expansion, repair and renovation, code conformance improvements, building system modifications and window/door and roof replacements. Work scopes range from programming through post-construction and advanced technologies are fully integrated in house to enhance both design and construction. The firm is committed to sustainability and LEED-inspired design solutions that are environmentally responsive and resource efficient. We are proud of our strong performance under long-term, on-call assignments where we have effectively demonstrated our design diversity, estimating acuity, and responsiveness under more than 40 such agreements including repeat awards from the Connecticut Department of Construction Services, CT Department of Justice, U.S. Navy, United States Postal Service (USPS) and the University of Connecticut. We believe diverse and balanced design teams deliver the smoothest projects. Our project teams are a mix of experience levels representing each generational group from their 20’s to 60’s. By effectively leveraging the diversity in our experience, our projects benefit from a balance of knowledge sharing and new and proven design techniques.

Engineering Design Services forHVAC Systems & Controls
silverpetrucelli.com
Our engineers have provided a variety of mechanical and electrical engineering services for a variety of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This experience includes:
Foran High School, Milford (pictured above) – new high efficiency boilers were designed with an auxiliary boiler so that the pool hot water could be provided during the summer while the main boilers were shut down. The cooling plant was replaced with a new 470-ton centrifugal chiller with a matching forced-draft cooling tower. New chilled water pumps, condenser water pumps, and water treatment equipment were provided along with a corrosion resistant cooling tower. The project required careful phasing of its two boilers and large chilled water plant, coordinating schedules around both the student occupancies and the public use of the aquatic center.
Post Office, Brookfield – replacement of all of the equipment in this 4,000 square foot facility included a new hot water boiler, pumps, controls and relays which were installed to provide reliable and high efficiency heating, reducing energy consumption by over 40%.
East Lyme High School - extensive modifications to the HVAC systems included installation of a new 175-ton water-cooled chiller, and a new 400-ton cooling tower to serve the new chiller along with an existing one. Multi-zone equipment was replaced with new rooftop air handling units, and variable air volume distribution systems. Auditorium systems were refurbished by replacing coils, drain pans, and controls.
City Hall, Norwalk – cooling tower replacement.

Jonathan Law High School, Milford (pictured above) – boiler replacement was completed while school was in session, closely coordinating the work with the educators and plant facilities staff to ensure they were operational before the heating season. New fuel storage tanks for the standby generator were also retrofitted as part of this challenging basement installation, requiring the removal and installation work in small sections and pieces.
Jackson Middle School, New London - A replacement boiler plant was designed within an extremely short timeframe due to the absence of a back-up boiler. Our scope included removal of existing cast iron sectional boilers and replacement with similar equipment –each boiler has an output rating of nearly six million BTUH. Improvements to combustion air, natural gas distribution, boiler controls, and steam piping in the boiler room were also accomplished as work of this successful project.
Kings Highway Elementary School, Westport - an investigation of existing ventilation systems in this elementary school that has undergone several additions included an evaluation of heating, ventilation, and potential new air conditioning systems throughout school. Using in-house energy model simulations, improvements were presented to the school district.
Kendall Elementary School, Norwalk - HVAC system improvements included replacement of boilers’ new heat distribution system and installation of energy recovery ventilators with variable air volume control based on carbon dioxide level sensing. New direct digital control (DDC) energy management system was also installed.

Building Management System Engineering & Design
silverpetrucelli.com
Building Management Systems provide building owners with the ability to monitor, control, and adjust all HVAC systems (along with plumbing, power, lighting, if desired) from a central physical location that can be accessed remotely via the internet. Occupancy schedules and set points can be set and adjusted along with pre-determined alarm conditions which can remotely notify facilities staff. Features such as night setback, holiday and weekend scheduling are often included to allow systems to minimize energy expenditure during unoccupied periods. Related projects include:
Enfield High School, Enfield - features a fully integrated Building Automation System (BAS), incorporating Direct Digital Control (DDC) for temperature control, energy management, equipment monitoring and control, and all subsystems
Berlin High School, Berlin – will utilize a fully integrated Direct Digital Facility Management System (DDC) with BACnet I/Pprotocol to manage all building systems.
Crystal Lake Elementary School, Ellington - The Facility Management and Control System (FMCS) is capable of total integration of the facility infrastructure systems including chillers, boilers, air handling systems, and fire-life safety systems.
Chatfield School, Seymour – features a fully integrated HVAC Instrumentation and Control Building System incorporating Direct Digital Control, electric & electronic control, and building system control interfaces.
Stratfield Elementary School, Fairfield – temperature control and monitoring is via Direct Digital Controls using LonTalk protocol.

COVID-Driven Ventilation Studies & Assessments
silverpetrucelli.com
School districts been advised by public health officials that a good flow of fresh air can help dissipate any COVID virus that might find its way inside their school buildings. Maximizing fresh air in school buildings of varying ages and technologies, however, poses unique challenges for many districts.
Older buildings can rely on wide opened windows to let in fresh air, however when cold weather arrives, schools without modern HVAC systems are faced with flushing building air before and after school (minimally, two hours prior to staff/student arrival and at least one hour after is recommended) without overtaxing and damaging heating systems. At the same time, the capacity of ventilation systems running continuously during the day needs to be considered.
On the other hand, newer schools with computerized ventilation systems swap out the building’s air on a programmed schedule. Increased air filtration shows promise in trapping particles from the air stream; however each piece of mechanical equipment needs to be examined to determine whether it can sustain performance while being exposed to increased pressure drops as a result of increased efficiency.
Each type of space (i.e., offices, classrooms, media centers and gymnasiums, etc.) has different requirements for ventilation rates based on their occupancy and use. Engineers are assisting the Towns of Fairfield and Guilford with evaluations of their ventilation systems as they aim to assure educators, parents and students of safe hybrid and in-school learning environments.
Further, in recent school design projects architects, engineers and interior designers are integrating social distance programming and optimal furniture placement with HVAC systems, acoustics, and air cleaning tools (i.e., UV light) into their designs.
SPA engineers are providing ventilation studies and assessments for Guilford and Fairfield Public Schools.

Project Scope: Boiler ReplacementConstruction Cost: $300,000Owner: USPS
silverpetrucelli.com
This small retail post office had been hobbling along with its converted heavy oil boiler for too long, and so Silver / Petrucelli + Associates was contracted, as part of a larger on-call contract, to replace all of the equipment in this 4,000 square foot facility. New hot water boiler, pumps, controls and relays were installed to provide reliable and high efficiency heating, reducing the facility’s energy consumption by over 40%. This work was completed on an expedited basis as the winter heating season was approaching in less than 3 months from when we were contacted to prepare the designs. As a result of this work, we have been contracted to replace both larger and smaller boiler plants in USPS facilities throughout Connecticut.

As part of a $5 million renovation at Roton Middle School, the existing central heating plant for the building, which consisted of two steam boilers original to the building, were replaced with new steam boilers utilizing No. 2 fuel oil, new fuel pumps and new breeching from the boilers to the existing chimney.
Staff noticed smoke and odors coming from the chimney on the third floor of the school. A chimney inspection was performed that considered the height and interior dimensions of the flue, the condition of existing chimney, the building’s heating schedule, and changes needed to meet current building codes.
As a result of the inspection, chimney flues were relined and included installation of a stainless steel chase cover and chimney cap together with new door for the access in the boiler room.
