Commissioners approve $345,115 HVAC and VAV control upgrade for Community Services Building
Summary
The board approved replacement of rooftop HVAC units and installation of VAV controls and occupancy sensors at the Community Services Building, paid from assigned interest earnings, to improve temperature control and energy efficiency.
WASECA, Minn. — The Waseca County Board approved replacement of the rooftop HVAC units at the Community Services Building and installation of variable‑air‑volume controls and occupancy sensors on Monday, a project staff estimated would cost about $345,115 and be funded from assigned interest earnings.
Speaker 3 explained the existing rooftop units (installed circa 2010) have been difficult to reconcile with newer basement systems and that adding VAV controls will allow computer‑based scheduling and better energy control, particularly on upper floors. A motion to approve the replacement and associated controls passed by voice vote.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with procurement and schedule the installation; commissioners said the upgrade will help stabilize interior comfort and reduce energy use.
