One of the biggest headaches building owners experience is occupant complaints about thermal comfort. In new construction, there is a high level of control over the building envelope and perimeter issues are more easily dealt with. In the renovation of existing and historic structures, there are often additional challenges, particularly where the space is used for either enclosed or open offices at the perimeter. One way to ward off the office grumbles associated with being too cold is by including perimeter radiant heat.

The intent of the project was to provide redundant distribution to the branch circuit outlet for each piece of equipment in the Data Processing Center. Additional goals for the project included establishing equipment rack rows into hot aisle/cold aisle arrangements with hot aisle containment systems, migrating power and communications from below the floor to overhead, and eliminating the need for existing busway, switchboards and panel board equipment that is aged and represented a reliability concern.
