Office Building

Manhattan, NY

This 32-story office tower built over the historic eight-story Grand Central Post Office, integrates the historical façade with that of a contemporary office building. The building is among the most modern office buildings in Midtown Manhattan offering large, column free floor plans and floor-to-ceiling windows. Shuttle elevators transfer tenants from the street level Main Lobby to the eighth-floor Garden Lobby and then to their offices using multiple high rise elevators.

The Building Automation System (BAS) consists of:

• 42 AHU

• 6 HVU

• 757 Fan Powered VAV Boxes

• 120 Unitary AC units

• 4 Chillers

• 4 Cooling Towers

• 5 Heat Exchangers

• Misc. Supply and Exhaust Fans

• Main Steam Control

• Critical Computer Room control & remote alarming

The BAS is controlled using Teletrol Systems, Inc. hardware and their Panorama graphical front end. The graphical front end allows the facility engineers to access an overview of the building on one screen, and then penetrate the different systems for more detailed analysis and control. Animated air handler graphics and floor plans add to the user friendly atmosphere by providing “status at a glance” and increased productivity.
