The 213,000-square-foot Georgia State Capitol required extensive modernization to address aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, and building performance challenges while preserving the functionality and integrity of a historic government facility.
Farnsworth Group is providing commissioning services for major Capitol improvements, including renovations to the Governor’s Suite, Lieutenant Governor’s Suite, and House and Senate Chambers. The project also includes retro-commissioning and evaluation of the 57-year-old central energy plant and associated MEP systems, as well as commissioning support for building envelope improvements and investigations into moisture and humidity conditions within the Capitol dome.
The commissioning process helps improve system reliability, energy performance, and occupant comfort while reducing operational risk and supporting the long-term stewardship of a critical historic landmark.
Services include retro-commissioning of central plant equipment, addressing deferred maintenance concerns, and supporting significant building envelope enhancements, including regilding the Capitol dome and investigating water intrusion and humidity issues affecting the structure.
