PDF《Aviation Training Site》

The High-Altitude Army Aviation TrainingSite(HAATS)isastate-of-the- art facility operated by the Colorado National Guard that trains army and ally helicopter pilots on how to operateaircraftinavarietyofdifficult conditions such as high-altitude and mountainous terrains.

Located outside of Vail in Gypsum, Colorado, the new facility was constructed in fall

2012 to replace an outdated training site and allow for more efficient and effective operations. In addition to improved efficiencies that led to doubling the training site's student capacity, the facility is also designed for environmental efficiency and achieved a LEED Silver designation by the U.S. Green Building Council. The unique complex is comprised of administration offices, classrooms, a flight operations area with a 50-foot maintenance hangar, allied maintenanceworkshopsandlodging rooms. While the entire facility is designed for efficient operation, the mechanical systems played a significant role in reaching LEED Silver status. Mechanical contractor Lance Daniel, owner of LD Mechanical, reviewed theinitialdesignproposedbyJacobs Engineering, which was awarded the architectural and engineering design contract for HAATS, and made some modifications to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. One of Daniel's major updates to the design involved selecting Lochinvar? boilers, water heaters and storage tanks, which he worked with Shamrock Sales to specify. "I've installed nothing but Lochinvar boilers since 2008, and I knew they would be the best choice for this job given the high expectations for efficiency and the high demands of the Colorado climate", said Daniel.

Boilers, each ofwhichdeliversinputs up to 2.5 million Btu/ hr, were installed in the main heating plant for the radiant heating and SIM systems. The CREST Boilers are installed side-by-side with zero clearance to maximize the space in the mechanical room. In addition, a ground-mounted solar-evacuated tube system heats the domestic water, reducing demand for the primary gas-fired domestic hot water system. Two Power-Fin? Water Heaters, one unit with input of 1.3 million Btu/hr and a second with input up to 500,000 Btu/hr, were installed for the domestic water back-up system, along with two Lock-Temp? Storage Tanks.
