As part of the ongoing Georgia State Capitol Renovation, aging mechanical systems needed to be evaluated to support major infrastructure upgrades, including the transition from electric heating to hydronic heating and future integration with the new Legislative Office Building Central Utility Plant.
Farnsworth Group conducted a comprehensive investigation of the Capitol’s existing heating hot water (HHW) and chilled water (CHW) systems, including Pre-Test, Adjust, and Balance (TAB) services. The assessment evaluated system condition, operational performance, and readiness for conversion to hydronic heating and connection to the new central utility infrastructure.
The investigation provided critical data and recommendations that reduced uncertainty, informed renovation planning, and helped position the Capitol for improved energy efficiency, system reliability, and long-term operational performance.
Findings were used to support the Georgia State Capitol Renovation and Legislative Office Building projects, providing the Owner, Design Team, and Construction Team with a clear understanding of existing conditions and a roadmap for future HHW and CHW system upgrades.
