the high school. The design features 21st century learning environments with a variety of academic spaces, flexible areas with natural light for students to collaborate in small groups, a courtyard, and Knoxville CSD’s first storm shelter, which also doubles as the band and choir room.

KCL Engineering designed an innovative energy-efficient low temp VAV system utilizing a packaged unit (rooftop unit + energy recovery) to achieve the low temperature in lieu of ice storage. In a standard 800 – 1000 sf classroom the fan powered VAV box delivers 1000 cfm of air. A low temp VAV air handling unit delivers the required 350 – 450 cfm of ventilation air at 45 degrees to the VAV box and mixes it with 75 degree air pulled from the ceiling plenum.

With this system, air handler sizes are reduced by approximately 45% and ductwork sizes by 30% resulting in a very energy-efficient system that is less costly to install.

2023 Honoree

The Willdan Group modeled the low temp VAV system with a 43% KWh savings over baseline, which equates to $13,000 savings a year in energy costs.

The Commercial New Construction program provided a rebate to the District due to the significant energy savings.

district in mind. The school is the first in the state to use Optical LAN to support all data and communications systems. An owner-initiated idea, KCL Engineering aided the District in becoming informed about this emerging technology. KCL Engineering also introduced the District to Billings Public Schools in Montana, which recently converted the 16,000-student district to Optical LAN. Singlemode fiber offers many benefits over a traditional copper solution: •

Singlemode fiber can transmit data for miles, which means copper distance limitations are no longer an issue.

•

Singlemode fiber is much less expensive than Category 6 copper cabling.

•

Traditional network requires a 1:1 distribution method. Optical LAN distribution allows for a 1:many method which saves on cost.

•

Singlemode fiber eliminates Intermediate Distribution Frame space and the associated power and cooling requirements.

In addition to the notable technology engineering for this school, a long-term, holistic approach was imperative to ensure the building could accommodate a future auditorium, twostory classroom wing, and athletic field amenities.

Hospitality Development with Shared Geothermal Well Field Altoona, Iowa

An example of our application of energy-efficiency in new and different ways is the introduction of geothermal HVAC systems in Heart of America Group hotel and restaurant properties. The Fairfield Inn and Suites in Altoona is served by a geothermal well field. Soon after this property opened, HOA began development of two adjacent properties; Hyatt Place Hotel and Burger Shed. These buildings share a geothermal well field. Traditionally these buildings would be installed with disposable mechanical equipment and very little concern for long-term building ownership. KCL helped our client break status quo with design decisions that are financially responsible and sustainable.

MidAmerican Energy Office Building Renovation

2020

Urbandale, Iowa

Size

This expansive workplace modernization provides MidAmerican Energy team members with

120,000 sf

multiple workstation, office, collaboration, and large training arrangements.

Electrical design factored in workstation configurations with some areas receiving power and data throughout the floor for maximum flexibility. The entire building was upgraded with LED lighting along with specialty lighting to accent/highlight company core principle icons.

Programmed lighting controls provide simple operation with local user overrides. Daylight harvesting occurs in open offices along perimeter windows and at skylights in main corridor.

The mechanical system includes Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) fan coil units in the enclosed enclave areas to allow flexibility with heating/cooling zones, compared to large heat pumps that serve open office spaces. This HVAC hybrid provides a high efficiency system designed to provide a comfortable environment across many space types and usage needs.

In addition to modern workspaces, an elaborate “conference center” was designed. A platinum level audio-visual system was custom designed based on the corporation’s diverse needs. The system includes a Crestron control system that is robust enough to control all lighting, audio, and visual with high flexibility to enable smaller meetings to occur simultaneously.

A new, larger security operations center includes a vast display wall and provides staff with more room and improved technology.

A unique mechanical solution incorporated into this project is a new mezzanine and equipment platform at the request of the owner for better service accessibility for MEPT equipment. The design team derived a concept to have an equipment platform above the enclave spaces due to the large plenum space within the building. The equipment platform is where the majority of the HVAC, electrical and data equipment are located and it is fully accessible with stairs/lifts, walkways, and railings.

Pharmacy HVAC Improvements (2024) To reduce the particle count in the Ante Room, an exhaust grille was added near the door of the Ante Room to capture particles as staff enter from the Pharmacy Work Area. A humidifier was added to the air handling unit and pneumatic controls for the air handling unit were replaced with digital controls to improve temperature and humidity control in the pharmacy.

Chilled Water Plant System Enhancement (2024) Chilled water was supplied to the MOB by piping connected to the end of the run in the basement mechanical room. This piping was far too small to supply the basement mechanical room, so separate piping from the chilled plant was routed to the medical office building, allowing sufficient chilled water to be supplied to the medical office building air handling unit and the basement mechanical room air handling units. The secondary chilled water pumps were also replaced to match the flow rate of the primary chiller pumps.

Abbott Power Plant - Task 0 Retainer Projects* From 2017 to 2024, engineering design services were provided on a running retainer with the University of Illinois to support the plant’s needs. During this period, these services facilitated $20 to $30 million annually in construction projects. The work included the installation of new boiler feedwater, condensate, cooling water, raw water, acid and caustic, and makeup water pumps; condenser heat exchanger replacements; boiler design; combustion turbine design; and high and low-pressure gas design.

Condensate Piping and Pumping* The plant reuses 85% of returned campus steam condensate as boiler feedwater, but its outdated condensate tanks required replacement. The project installed a new 120,000-gallon polished condensate tank, new pumps, and integrated the system with the existing RO tank.

Piping, valve design, instrumentation, electrical systems, and phased construction ensured minimal outages and improved redundancy, allowing continuous operation during upgrades.

Abbott Power Plant Standards* This project developed plant standards for piping, valves, fittings, insulation systems, and flange tightening across all systems at the University of Illinois Power Plant. It covered various systems, including steam, condensate, feedwater, instrument air, natural gas, stormwater, sanitary, blowdown, drains, HVAC, and caustic. Calculations were performed to establish standards for piping, valves, and insulation for each system.

South PRV Station* The project involved demolishing an existing 325 psig to 150 psig steam pressure reducing valve station and replacing it with a higher-capacity station. This included steam, condensate, and feedwater piping, along with butterfly valves for isolation, a desuperheater to reduce the temperature from 700°F to 450°F, a pressure reducing valve, pressure safety valve, and pressure and temperature transmitters. Calculations were performed to size the equipment and instruments, and a pipe stress analysis was conducted to ensure proper support.

Eight full-size football fields spread across approximately twelve acres were illuminated to an average of 50 foot-candles with twelve poles of LED sports lighting. Light poles were strategically located to maximize field layout flexibility for various intramural leagues. Special consideration was given to accommodate a full size cricket pitch. The system was designed to minimize glare and light trespass for the adjacent dormitory and two busy arterial roads.

To accommodate the new lighting load, a new 15 kV switch was added to the campus electrical utility loop. A radial primary line from the new switch traversed approximately 900 feet across a creek levy to a new pad-mounted transformer and electrical distribution equipment. Since this site has frequently flooded over the years, the electrical equipment was installed on top of the creek levy - approximately 10 feet above the adjacent recreation field to stay above the floodplain.
