Temple Shir Tikva, Wayland, MA

Description

BEC performed the conditions assessment and worked with Temple Shir Tikva (TST) to determine the HVAC capital upgrade needs. The goal was to improve overcome maintenance and reliability concerns of ageing infrastructure, improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), and decarbonization. BEC developed a Basis of Design for the proposed upgrades.

BEC acted as the Owners Technical Representative helping manage the overall project from start to finish and Quality Assurance Commissioning (QACx) Agent. BEC assisted TST with hiring the design team and evaluating design and design decisions. After design was complete, BEC assisted TST with budgeting the upgrade project, which was during the pandemic with price increases. BEC coordinated the bidding of the project and evaluation of General Contractors (GCs). GreenerU was awarded the project as GC after successful scope and fee negotiation. BEC provided regular quality control of the construction, coordinating construction activity with the design engineers and tested the building systems as part of the QACx process. The project came in on budget and was awarded over $350,000 in MassSave incentives.

Richard’s Memorial Library, North Attleboro, MA

Description

BEC has performed Facility Conditions Assessments (FCAs) to the historical Richard’s Memorial Library which was built in 1900 and later extended.  The intent of the assessments was to determine the existing conditions of the facilities, including building enclosures, MEP systems, interior finishes, and climate resiliency.  The data gathered was used to develop a capital plan, with a specific focus on estimate expected service life of systems and major equipment.  The BEC developed an Executive Summary Report that explained and provided the technical rationale for the recommendation.

Peru Library, Peru, MA

Description

The Peru Library in Massachusetts is a Georgian building that had many uses over the years, being a church, town hall, call center, and now a library.  The library approached the BEC to conduct a Facility Conditions Assessment (FCA) to help prioritize the upgrades for the building and provide a budget with the goal of preserving and stabilize the building.

Stoneham Public Library, Stoneham, MA

Description

The Stoneham Public Library was built in 1903 with additions built in the following decades.  In 2017 the library commissioned a study of environmental conditions which resulted in the library approaching BEC to perform a Facility Conditions Assessment (FCAs).  Moisture management, IAQ, and systems at end of life was a concern for the library. The objective of the assessments was to determine the existing conditions of the facilities and to develop a capital plan, which included an estimated service life expectancy of the systems and major equipment and a budgetary estimate for the replacement costs of the systems and equipment.
