Seeking to consolidate Its real-time command and control functions into a single, adequately - sized, secure facility with fully Integrated and up- to-date systems, the agency leased the 7th floor of a building In the heart of the city. The design environment accommodated a raised floor design, providing heavy power and emergency power generation with a 90,000 gallon diesel fuel tank on site. Also on site were provisions for 200,000 gallons of water, high security design, and extraordinary HVAC capacity and chiller capacity for the agency's Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAG) units. The agency selected Syska to design the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems for the new sustainable building. The design included a raised floor environment with Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units tied to chilled water, two new server and command rooms with central UPS, which tied into the buildings generators, N+1 CRAC units, underfloor supply/overhead return, hot & cold aisle, new VAV boxes, low pressure ductwork, new lighting power distribution, fire alarm system and associated components. The new plumbing system'r6uded a break room and shower room. Syska also provided LEED consulting and commissioning services.
