The Lexington Children’s Place comprises about 18,945 SF of newly constructed space. Envelope components use a combination of rigid and spray foam insulation products to form a continuous thermal barrier that greatly exceeds code requirements. High performance windows are specified to maximize thermal performance and daylight availability. 

The mechanical system consists of VRF air-to-air heat pumps with a packaged DX/Heat pump rooftop ERU for ventilation air. The heating and cooling for classrooms and offices is provided by ducted type indoor units with refrigeration piping distribution from outdoor units. The heated only spaces in the project e.g. vestibules, elect/mechanical spaces, restrooms, etc. will be served by electric wall heaters.
