Alfred J. McCourtney Juvenile Justice Center
 

location	Lancaster, California
description	HVAC upgrades
cost	$1,600,000 (estimated)
owner	Los Angeles County Internal Services Department
completion	2007

JDBA recently completed the design for HVAC upgrades to Alfred J. McCourtney Juvenile Justice Center for the Los Angeles County Internal Services Department. Due to the deterioration of the original 1960s equipment, insufficient volume of conditioned air was being supplied to the occupied spaces of the building. The JDBA team’s redesign involved combining both the existing hot and cold ductwork to distribute cool air and coupled this with the installation of a hot water reheat loop and new mixing boxes to modulate temperatures in response to thermostat readings at perimeter zones. The scope of work included replacing supply air handlers, associated structural upgrades and modifications, reworking of the existing ducting system, installation of new ducts, new mixing boxes, new pumps and controls. Construction is phased to allow continuous operation of the facility with no down time.
