School City of Hobart hired Envoy, Inc., of Indianapolis, as construction manager and Gibraltar Design, Inc., an Indianapolis-based, full-service A/E and design ﬁrm, to design and build an efﬁcient new school with high-tech features to prepare students for the world of tomorrow. Some of the school’s standout amenities include a 650-seat auditorium with a modern acoustics and sound system, a new football stadium, a 10,000 sq-ft media center with a coffee bar for students and a professional library for teachers, PCs or laptop computers in every classroom, wireless Internet, and several other technological features. Students will continue to attend the existing Hobart High School facility until the completion of the Fall 2008 semester. When it came to the HVAC system portion of the project, Gibraltar Design’s speciﬁcations included a VAV distribution system for the school’s classrooms with fan-powered boxes and terminal reheat. For the large gathering areas, Gibraltar’s design called for constant air volume distribution systems. The building’s cooling system is a water cooled centrifugal chiller, and the school will be heated with high-efﬁciency condensing boilers. The duct system consists of about 200,000 sq ft of galvanized steel ductwork.

The SHERLOCK line includes electronic monitors with either two or three alarm levels. Each alarm level has two relay outputs for various functions including activating audio-visual alarm indication devices, energizing exhaust fans or notifying the building automation system. The SHERLOCK sensor modules utilize both solid state CMOS for engine room and ventline which meet most specifications and budget considerations or infrared (IR) sensor technology, when accuracy is extremely important. The IR will virtually eliminate all false alarming. SHERLOCK also can provide several varieties of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus to meet the requirements of most mechanical safety codes.
