The Sovereign at Regent Square is a brand-new, 21-floor luxury apartment complex in Houston. The 615,555 square foot building boasts 290 residences plus several high-end amenity areas.<\/p>\n
Several factors led up to the decision to use a VRV system for the complex.<\/p>\n
The building architecture created several unique challenges for the HVAC system.\u00a0 The building height and the elaborate amenities level made areas of the building very difficult to pipe.\u00a0 The design team quickly eliminated \u201cstandard\u201d DX systems and did an in-depth evaluation of water-source heat pump systems and air-source VRV.\u00a0 The VRV system proved to be lower first cost and flexible enough to handle all the difficult areas.<\/p>\n
The high-end nature of the building made sound levels on the amenities deck a top priority.\u00a0 The quiet nature and flexible installation characteristics of the VRV system allowed for a very clean and quiet installation of equipment right next to the amenities deck without concern.<\/p>\n
On top of these key decision factors, DXS spent years prior to groundbreaking working diligently with the engineer, owner, and general contractor to help provide the best solution for the complex. The attentive nature provided by our team coupled with the owner\u2019s desire to install a burgeoning HVAC technology made the decision easy to use DXS and Daikin VRV as the basis of design.<\/p>\n
Sold on VRV technology, the owner also wanted PPD (power proportional distribution) software, installation, and commissioning for the added capability to provide accurate individual tenant billing with respect to VRV usage in the residential spaces. DXS delivered and installed a Daikin VRV heat recovery system that included 325 fan coils and a Daikin i-Touch Manager central controller with PPD software.<\/p>\n
DXS provided precise project management pre-, during, and post-construction. DXS worked hand in hand with the project team to verify the piping systems.\u00a0 Daikin requires stringent pressure and vacuum tests prior to starting up their VRV systems.\u00a0 It was quite a challenge to accommodate the project schedule with these procedures seldom used to such an extent on DX systems.<\/p>\n
Delivering and staggering shipments proved to be a challenge considering the number of floors and individual pieces of equipment required for this project.\u00a0 DXS worked in concert with the mechanical and general contractors to ensure that all deliveries were made in a timely manner despite an ever-changing project schedule.<\/p>\n
Overcoming these challenges, DXS provided the complex with an extremely energy-efficient system that is designed to provide tenants comfort and accurate billing for their usage. At the end of the project, the hi-rise was awarded LEED Silver status from the USGBC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

School district facilities planners and maintenance personnel plus the design team who support them are tasked with developing and maintaining usable, comfortable buildings that promote learning. They must do this across the country under the scrutiny of school districts determined to spend every bond and tax revenue dollar wisely.<\/p>\n
The DXS team understands the pressures under which school district personnel operate and we’ve helped alleviate much of that pressure. From our work with facilities planners and architects, we know that energy is one of the largest line items in a school budget. That\u2019s where we can help. We design low-maintenance VRF air conditioning systems that reduce HVAC energy costs 20 to 50 percent.<\/p>\n

Key Considerations<\/h3>\n\n- Systems that reduce HVAC energy costs by 20 to 50 percent<\/li>\n
- Opportunity to reduce overall building construction cost<\/li>\n
- Straightforward maintenance facilities crews can easily manage<\/li>\n
- Reduced maintenance costs compared to split-system or chilled water systems<\/li>\n
- Reduced mechanical space<\/li>\n
- Designs that accommodate space restrictions of prior systems<\/li>\n
- Ability to handle temperature control for dozens of small spaces<\/li>\n
- Energy efficient<\/li>\n
- Y Robust training program for facilities maintenance personnel<\/li>\n
- DXxsS onsite at five key junctures: onsite training prior to installation, quality control checks during installation, during start-up, 30 days after commissioning for building owner verification, and ongoing training for staff<\/li>\n
- Fast, dependable service and maintenance support after installation<\/li>\n
- Complete inventory of parts and equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
