Linear grilles and square diffusers are installed for supply and return air.

Heated gycol is distributed by two 2.2 kW centrifugal pumps and routed to finned tube radiation, unit heaters, cabinet heaters and the air handling units. Two fractional coil circuit pumps supply preheat coils with hot water. Distribution piping is primarily steel and is complete with insulated fiberglass pipe wrap.

There are three roof mounted exhaust fans of varying sizes that supply the building with exhaust needs Additional ceiling mounted fans ventilate various rooms and washrooms..

Fan protective covers were observed to have broken mounts and stripped anchor bolts. It is recommended that these be repaired, however, repairs are not expected to meet the reporting threshold.
