Project Title: HVAC Design for San Paolo Brazil Library

Project Summary: We are participating in the 2024 ASHRAE Student Design Competition. The focus of our project is to design an HVAC System for a brand new library in the heart of São Paulo, Brazil. This new library will be a center of education and community involvement. The building has open library space, retail space, cafes, conference and office rooms and an automated storage and retrieval system. The building also has other basic support spaces such as restrooms, mechanical rooms, electrical closets, telecom closets etc. The design of the HVAC system should be considering comfort, health and safety, sustainability, functionality, future flexibility, maintainability and a 50-year service life.
