HVAC Improvements at General Administration Building, Olympia, WA. The state General Administration Building is a 236,000 SF, five story building with a diverse occupancy. Users report poor indoor air quality, and desire a thorough cleaning of the entire HVAC system including ductwork, plenums, coils, air handling units, etc. The project scope includes extensive air quality sampling for VOC’s, temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide levels. The work included field investigation to define current conditions and flow monitoring. The building was evaluated for other possible improvements to improve air quality.
