<br />BACKGROUND <br />RN&M was retained by Orange County to~evaluate several HVAC system replacement options for the <br />pre-1997 potions of the Orange County Jail, which includes approximately 16,000 square feet of space. <br />These areas include the booking area, main control room, kitchen, laundry, visitation area, main lobby <br />and several cells. Occupancy loads were based on current levels, with no increased capacity assumed <br />for these areas. The existing system is approximately 25 years old. Several critical system components, <br />including the chiller have reached or exceeded their life expectancy. Our analysis included evaluating <br />these components, their effect on the operation of the jail, the economic impact of replacement, and the <br />potential systems that could be used for replacement. <br />
