Description
Malden Catholic High School required a high-performance HVAC solution that aligned with the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code while maintaining cost efficiency. This design-build project utilized a strategic mix of equipment to achieve optimal energy efficiency without exceeding budget constraints.

Daikin Rebel DX Cooling Units were selected for their advanced energy-saving capabilities, providing precise temperature control and high efficiency. Two of these units were equipped with Energy Recovery Wheels to further enhance performance. Additionally, a Nagas ABE Air Handler with a high-efficiency Accubloc Dual-Core Energy Recovery Device was integrated into the system, serving as the dedicated energy recovery component for one of the Daikin Rooftop Units. This advanced technology significantly improves energy reuse, supporting decarbonization initiatives by reducing overall energy consumption.

By integrating this high-efficiency HVAC system, Malden Catholic enhanced indoor air quality and energy performance, ensuring a comfortable and sustainable environment for both students and staff.

HTS supplied the following equipment:

  • 5x Daikin Rebel DX Cooling / Electric Heat Units
  • 2x Daikin Rebel DX Cooling / Electric Heat Units with Energy Recovery Wheels
  • 1x Nagas ABE Air Handler with High-Efficiency Accubloc Dual-Core Energy Recovery Device
