Project

Christ Church Cathedral

MLN served as the mechanical contractor for Bellows Construction on The Christ Church Cathedral project. The project scope included designing and installing a highly efficient, temperature-controlled VRF system to replace the church’s outdated 40-year HVAC system that had exceeded its useful life and was no longer meeting the cooling and heating comfort needs on the church campus. The project was both necessary and urgent as part of the once-in-a-generation imperative restoration and renovation of the Cathedral campus to meet the needs of the people who seek worship, peace and refuge on the campus.

This new energy-efficient, water-cooled system provides high-quality air, is imperative to the long-term preservation of the Cathedral’s historic wood structure and minimizes the demand for energy, thereby protecting the church against future commodity price increases. MLN also installed a side stream filter that allows the church to filter its water in-house and protect the piping from premature corrosion. Dedicated administrative and choir offices were created on the second floor to improve workflow and productivity, and air conditioning was installed to ensure comfort in the new office space and choir rehearsal areas.
