VAV Systems - Harrisburg High School (664 KB)
Harrisburg High School was constructed in 1903. The original construction included
masonry exterior walls and framed plaster interior walls. The original heating system was a
steam boiler with wall radiators. The building had not been retrofitted for air conditioning. A few
window AC units had been installed in some office and classroom areas. After several years of
conceptual planning and budgeting, it was decided to undertake a full renovation of the
building. The exterior walls were tuck-pointed and the interior walls were stripped and refinished.
The original 12-foot ceiling height throughout the building allowed the installation of new
ductwork and piping. New drop ceilings were installed at a 10-foot elevation after the mechanical systems were installed. The mechanical system renovation included a complete packaged AAON VAV System.

BOK Center - Tulsa, OK (428 KB)
The BOK Center, or Bank of Oklahoma Center, is a 19,199 seat sports
and entertainment arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The range of events and the
scale of the building required an HVAC unit that was both large enough to
heat, cool, and ventilate the large arena and quiet enough to not
interfere with the acoustics during concerts and events while also being
energy efficient. AAON supplied the BOK center with custom modular rooftop
air handling units containing chilled and hot water coils.
