Hotel Improvement ​

MVN’s expertise in performance-driven design guided this hotel renovation, upgrading common space HVAC systems, replacing PTAC units, and modernizing electrical and lighting. The result is a refreshed hospitality environment that enhances guest comfort, efficiency, and reliability while maintaining the building’s character.

Mechanical Design

The mechanical design centered on remodeling HVAC systems in common spaces to improve air distribution and occupant comfort. Existing PTAC units were replaced with new, efficient models to provide localized heating and cooling in guest rooms. System layouts were coordinated to ensure seamless integration with the building’s architecture, while ventilation strategies were refined to meet current code requirements and enhance indoor air quality.

Electrical Design

The electrical design introduced new power distribution to support remodeled HVAC systems and additional outlets across common and guest areas. A new sub-panel was installed to manage loads efficiently, while updated lighting systems were implemented based on revised reflected ceiling plans (RCP). Photometric analysis ensured balanced illumination for both normal and emergency conditions, and code-compliant controls were integrated to deliver energy efficiency and intuitive operation

The mechanical systems were tailored to the building’s mixed‑use operations. Key design elements include:

  • First‑floor kitchen exhaust terminated with a wall‑mounted blast fan, supported by a makeup air unit located outside the building.
  • First‑floor retail space served by a fan coil unit paired with a gas‑fired furnace.
  • Second‑floor retail tenant similarly equipped with a dedicated fan coil and furnace system.
  • Each dwelling unit on upper levels provided with its own fan coil unit for independent comfort control.
  • Condensing units strategically located at grade level outside the building for efficient operation and service accessibility.

Electrical systems were designed to meet the varied needs of restaurant, retail, and residential spaces. Key highlights:

  • Existing services leveraged with new panels provided as required to support tenant improvements.
  • Kitchen areas on the first level equipped with GFI outlets for safety compliance.
  • Retail and dwelling units fitted with outlets in full compliance with code.
  • Lighting design incorporated aesthetic round fixtures, coordinated with the architect’s reflected ceiling plan (RCP).
  • Lighting ensures both functionality and visual appeal across all restaurant, retail, and residential spaces.
