Graziano explained that the hangar’s tenant, Premier Aviation Windsor, had requested in-floor radiant heating so the building’s core wouldn’t cool off as quickly as it would with forced air heating. Tom Graziano was the Project Administrator with the Engineering Development Department for the city at the time (he was since promoted to Manager of Facility Operations with the Parks and Facilities Department). tall at its highest point and can accommodate a Boeing 737, so it was essential to design an HVAC system that could provide consistent, comfortable heating for service technicians in frigid winter temperatures, as well as one that wouldn’t interfere with the movement of aircraft in and out of the facility.
The project’s design team had to address several building fundamentals based on the nature and location of the project. In 2011, the City of Windsor identified the need for a new service hangar at the facility in order to increase air traffic revenue, create more jobs, and diversify the local economy. Operated by the City of Windsor (Ontario) since 2007, Windsor Airport serves a mixture of scheduled airline flights and general aviation, and is a popular point of entry into Canada for private and business aircraft. Hybrid design delivers significant space savings and simplifies PEX circuit layout and installation. The SolutionĪ hybrid system incorporating Aquatherm’s PP-R pipe and PEX was embedded into the hangar’s concrete floor for an effective radiant heat system. The team needed to design and construct an HVAC system for the new service hangar that would provide consistent, reliable heat for the frigid winter conditions.
