UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
INN & CONFERENCE CENTER
Adelphi, Maryland

Currently, the University of Maryland has contracted for a 5-story addition to their Inn & Conference Center. The new 100,000 SF facility includes 127 guest rooms and 7 meeting rooms, and completion is scheduled for December 2003.

Shapiro & Duncan conducted a value engineering evaluation, which resulted in a substantial cost saving by reducing the number of energy recovery units from seven to five and eliminating the procurement of a new cooling tower and chiller by utilizing existing services from the main mechanical equipment.

Shapiro & Duncan is responsible for installation of the HVAC system, which includes:

• Five Heatex energy recovery units (plate air-to-air);
• 26 air handling units (AHUs);
• 148 4-pipe fan coil units;
• One heating plate/frame heat exchanger;
• One steam-to-water converter;
• Eight end-suction base-mounted pumps; and
• Miscellaneous fans.
