The Byron White Courthouse in downtown Denver is a historic fourstory federal facility with a mechanical attic, a full basement, and a mechanical sub-basement. The building contains courtrooms, judges’ chambers, offices, conference rooms, and support spaces, which were occupied during this upgrade project.

Description of Work

This project included significant mechanical system retrofits to improve energy performance. Mechanical upgrades included:

Refurbishing the chilled water free cooling heat exchanger EEI observed issues, including design problems, equipment submittal inconsistencies, inappropriate change order pricing, installation issues, failed devices, and potential safety issues. We worked with the design team and contractors to resolve each one to the GSA’s satisfaction. As a result of our work, the Courthouse operates efficiently and is much more comfortable for its occupants

• Converting the chilled and heating hot water systems from
  constant flow systems to variable flow systems
• Converting heating hot water generation from steam converters to
  five 3000 MBH high-efficiency condensing hot water boilers
• Converting domestic water heating from steam converters to two
  1060 MBH high-efficiency condensing domestic water heaters
