McKenney’s installed air-cooled chillers, a mechanical plant, all ductwork, piping and plumbing
for In Touch Ministries’ recording studio, a pro-ducer of global television and radio broadcasts.
THE CHALLENGEIn addition to addressing the large air volume specification for this 110-by-110-foot recording studio and ancillary spaces, the team also had to ensure all equipment and
ductwork met the studio’s NC (Noise Criterion) 15 rating requirement for noise abatement.
THE SOLUTIONTwo 300-ton chillers, supported by two 33,000 CFM air handling units along with 21,000 CFM and 14,000 CFM air handling units, were necessary to serve the studio and related rooms. To meet the NC 15 rating, the McKenney’s team planned, fabricated and installed oversized ductwork lined with
insulation to minimize and absorb air flow sound. The significant air volume and low-noise requirement made for a sizable and impressive system.
THE RESULTSThe mechanical system is now an integral part of maintaining a comfortable environment dur-ing production sessions—keeping the studio cool and noise-free so it can continue broad-casting the ministry’s messages to the world.
