Commission OKs RFP after consultant finds building pumps undersized

A field report from Integrity Test and Balance flagged problems in the county building's HVAC system and identified a likely cause of recurring issues: "the existing cooling tower system pump, was shown as expected to be undersized, And it's undersized by about 35%," the presenter said. The consultant recommended replacing or upsizing the system pumps, adding balance valves at heat pumps, performing a full flush and clean, and planning controls upgrades; he said a new cooling tower may be needed in roughly five years.
