Taylor Engineers provided HVAC design and consulting services for the residential conversion of the Bank of Italy, a historic 13-story, 125,000 square foot building in downtown San Jose. The project includes residential apartments, club space, and retail on the lower levels, and is designed to be all-electric with a focus on low-carbon, low-energy, and low-water performance. The residential HVAC uses ducted packaged terminal heat pump + ERV (PTHP+ERV) all-in-one units with MERV 13 filtered outdoor air. Club and retail areas use a VAV system with hot water reheat, rooftop AHU with economizer, and chilled water fan coils. A modular air-to-water heat pump plant serves the HVAC systems, and provision has been made for future connection to the Fountain Alley central utility plant.
