Featured Projects
We have had the privilege to work on some incredible buildings in the past twenty-five years. Here's a sampling of our recent work.
Cherapa Place
Office Building
Sioux Falls, SD
One of the most talked about buildings in the region, Climate Systems worked on Cherapa from initial design through final construction. Cherapa is a vivid example of forward thinking. The six-story, 110,000 square foot building of prime office space accomplishes the dual goals of maximum energy-efficiency and environmental-sensitivity. Cherapa's HVAC system utilizes multiple technologies and innovative engineering. The ownership partners are clearly happy with the end result:
Midwest Precision Tool & Die
Production Facility
Sioux Falls, SD
This remarkable company has grown from Burd McCoy's garage to a 60,000 square foot production facility in less than twenty years. Midwest Precision produces nano-components that are used in everything from heart valves to satellites. Climate Systems and Burd came up with a unique solution for his building that not only saved the company's heating and cooling costs dramatically, it also freed up valuable space for additional production capacity.
Rosa Parks Elementary School
Elementary School
Sioux Falls, SD
Climate System's Inc. has enjoyed a twenty-plus year relationship with the Sioux Falls School District. Their latest project is Rosa Parks Elementary which serves the needs of hundreds of students on Sioux Falls' east side. Climate equipped Rosa Parks with a Building Automation System that is an extension of the school district's Central Control Server. This allows monitoring and adjusting of the school's temperature and power usage from the school, the central location or anywhere in the world with a standard PC via the World Wide Web.
St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church
Church
Sioux Falls, SD
In 2004, St. Michael's Catholic Church on Sioux Falls' west side was adding parishioners at a rate that soon exceeded their capacity. It soon became clear that a second church was needed and in 2006 construction began on St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church. Fortunately, for many children and their families, an anonymous donation allowed the simultaneous construction of an education facility that meets the needs of Kindergarten through Second grade. Climate Systems installed a chilled water and boiler system and two outdoor air handling units that heat and cool the worship space. When the hall is unoccupied, a single unit is utilized to help control temperature and humidity at minimum occupancies.
Spencer Municipal Hospital
Health Care/Surgery Unit
Spencer, Iowa
Spencer Municipal Hospital employs 500 people and serves the needs of rural northwest Iowa and Southwest Minnesota. When the hospital decided to build a new surgical center, they turned to Climate Systems Inc. to ensure that the precise needs of their new facility would be met. It goes without saying that a surgery suite requires exact temperature and humidity controls due to the critical nature of the work being performed. Like most new buildings of its kind, the Spencer Surgical Unit is web-enabled which means the building's temperature and humidity levels can be monitored and adjusted remotely through the Internet or, of course, at the facility itself. While technology is great, it is also comforting to know that if an issue does arise, Climate Systems' professional engineers and technicians are only a phone call and a short drive away.
Family Wellness
Multi-Use Gymnasium and Pool
Sioux Falls, SD
Sioux Falls' rapid expansion in the past twenty years created a classic bottleneck between the city's east, central and west sides. This was especially true for people who lived west of I-29 that wanted to belong to a fitness center. Their needs were met when Sanford Health and the YMCA combined forces to open Family Wellness in 2007. The huge variances in space needs, desired temperature and humidity levels in a fitness center presents real HVAC and humidity control challenges. Climate supplied rooftop heating and cooling equipment and plate type heat recovery units to maximize comfort and energy savings.
