The Arvin Cadet Physical Development Center is a new six-story full service facility that will serve as the cornerstone of athletic training for all Army Cadets. The center provides state of the art sporting venues strategically located within 350,000 square feet of usable space. The new facility consists of three large pools (instructional, intramural, hydro-therapy), sports medicine areas, nine gymnasia, twelve squash/handball courts, twelve wrestling areas, physical education administration/coach offices, gymnastics, four boxing rings, and two judo/martial arts areas, major rooftop mechanical penthouses, new electrical substation and service area, and various other supporting functions/spaces. The centerpiece of the facility is a full height lobby atrium with a custom skylight, spanning both it and an adjacent three-story high climbing wall.

An integrated network of Honeywell XL15 controllers along with XL10 VAV2 and XL10 FCU controllers controls the mechanical systems. The building is comprised of 2 Chillers, 2 Cooling Towers, 13 HV Units, 5 AHU’s, 6 Heat Exchangers, 47 VAV boxes, 15 Fan Coil Units (FCU), approximately 100 Exhaust Fans, 22 Unit Heaters and 1 Emergency Generator. The system was programmed using the Tridium Work Place Pro environment and is connected to the base-wide facility LAN. This allows the facility engineers to make programming changes and download them remotely from a any workstation on the facility LAN using Work Place Pro.

The XL15 standalone controllers are monitored from the Tridium Niagara graphical front end. This allows the end user to view animated graphics of each system and its associated control. points, floor plans that show sensors and controllers as well as overview screens to see the main aspects of the 18 HV & AHU’s on one screen.
