Frist Center for the Visual Arts
Nashville, TN
Date: November 2000 – April 2001
Contract Value: $3.25 million +
Brief Description: The Comfort Group Facility Automation Division installed a 100% Direct Digital Control System for this 24,000 square foot public art center. The Automated Logic INterOp System controls all of the primary and secondary HVAC equipment. Building climate control was a primary concern because fine art and antiquities must be housed in a strict humidity controlled environment with very low tolerances. The alarm software immediately notifies the Building Engineer via modem to pagers of any drift away from setpoints and probable cause.

 The Comfort Group Mechanical Division installed all HVAC and Plumbing systems for this 125,000 square foot historic structure formerly housing Nashville’s Main U.S. Post Office. Average daily manpower on site was 30 persons, with over 45 at project peak.  Systems provided included:

(2) 300 ton helical rotary chillers         (13) air handling units totaling 150,000 cfm

(2) 120 horsepower boilers                 (7) chilled and hot water pumps delivering 1,500 gpm

(13) return air fans                            (6) steam humidifiers delivering 900 pounds of steam per hour

(220,000) pounds of in-house fabricated sheetmetal
