Engineer: Vanderweil
The Salamander Inn is a high-end resort located in the quiet surroundings of Middleburg VA. One of the owners design requirements was to provide their customers with rooms that were quiet and comfortable. Working with the design team, Metropolitan Equipment Group (MEG) provided a vertical stack fan coil unit manufactured by Engineered Comfort that would meet the design requirements for both thermal comfort and sound. A complete mock-up was built near the site. The owner and consulting team was impressed the performance of the Engineered Comfort unit integrated into the mock-up and approval was granted. The units were provided with analog controls including valve package, dynamic speed controlled EC motor, and thermostat from the factory. In addition to the control / valve package, piping risers were provided by the factory. MEG worked closely with the mechanical contractor, engineer and factory to coordinate the piping risers and controls. The end result was turn-key solution that provided the mechanical contractor the tools necessary to meet the aggressive schedule.
