RAM-TECH Engineers has a great deal of
experience in providing professional design services for school facilities. We
were responsible for the mechanical/ electrical engineering design for
facilities at Avon Central School District, Bainbridge-Guilford Central Schools,
Beaver River Central Schools, Bridgehampton Union Free School District,
Canastota Central Schools, DeRuyter Central Schools, Deposit Central Schools,
Fabius Pompey Central Schools, Fayetteville-Manlius Central Schools,
Frankfort-Schuyler Central School, Holland Patent Central School District, Ichabod Crane Central School District, Lowville Academy and Central Schools,
Middleburgh Elementary School, Mt. Markham Central Schools, North Syracuse
Central School District, Oneida City School District, Oppenheim-Euphrata Central
Schools, Owen D. Young Central School, Schenevus Central School, Sharon Springs
Central Schools, Syracuse City School District, Waverly Central School District
and Whitney Point Middle School.
Services include heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, plumbing
systems, lighting and power systems, fire alarm systems, sound, security and
other special systems, etc.
The following is a brief narrative of several such projects RAM-TECH Engineers
has been involved with:
BEAVER RIVER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, Beaver Falls, N.Y.
The District has initiated an energy conservation program, utilizing the
services of a Performance Contractor. This procedure will provide guaranteed
energy savings to the District throughout the Contract's ten year period.
RAM-TECH Engineers was a member of the Design Team that conducted the analysis
of the facility's existing mechanical, electric, lighting and control systems. A
program of energy efficient upgrades was then developed for those systems where
attractive paybacks could be identified. These upgrades, now under final design
by the Team, include upgrades of the HVAC, lighting and control systems. An
Energy Management System (EMS) will provide active control of these upgraded
systems, decreasing the facility's operational costs and providing the
contractually guaranteed savings to the District. The EMS will also provide
active monitoring of indoor carbon dioxide (CO2), an indicator of Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ), at selected locations. This information will be used by the EMS
to maintain acceptable IAQ throughout the facility as demands on the HVAC vary
with changes in weather and student activity.
