BP Naperville Complex
Naperville, IL
Ventilation Improvement Program (VIP)

The VIP project required design, fabrication, and installation of a new HVAC system consisting of laboratory hood exhaust, make-up air and conditioned supply air ductwork. The installation utilized the latest in DDC and pneumatic controls as well as upgrading preheat, reheat, and chilled water piping and air filtration. 120,000 square feet of laboratory space was installed. Laboratory space installation included bench top and low boy hoods controlled by air valves, linked to roof mounted strobic fans which are controlled by variable frequency drives. The new ductwork was fabricated out of a corrosive resistant polyvinyl material. Each lab was scheduled for a utility shutdown, demolished, and reconstructed to meet the client’s schedule.

In addition to the laboratory space, another 60,000 square feet of office space was renovated. This required the complete removal and replacement of the ductwork, piping, and controls. Each zone was scheduled to install the new system so that business continued uninterrupted. The final step in the VIP project included the complete refurbishment of a 15,000 square feet mechanical room that housed 14 air handlers. Hayward Company replaced pre-heat and chilled water coils, roll-a-mat prefilters, in-line fans, air diverters, and drain pans. The existing low pressure duct was cleaned, sealed, and reinforced to handle the new medium pressure fans.

Hayward completed all work within the strict time constraints and while the building was still occupied and fully functioning. We finished the project safely and on schedule.
