Board hears that HVAC system is aging; full replacement could approach $2 million
Summary
District staff reported the school’s air handling system (installed around 1981) is operating at 75–80% efficiency and parts are increasingly difficult to source; a full replacement was estimated at $1.75–$2.0 million.
During facilities discussion, staff member Gordon reported that conversations with Johnson Controls and parts availability concerns indicate the building’s air handling system (installed approximately 1981) is operating at roughly 75–80% capacity/efficiency and that parts are becoming harder to source. He said a full-building HVAC replacement could cost between $1.75 million and $2 million.
Gordon noted industrial mini-split units have an expected lifespan of about 10–12 years while a complete building HVAC system typically has a 20–25 year lifespan; the board did not vote on a replacement but acknowledged the need to address it in the coming year and factor it into capital planning.
