The Waverly Community House, also known to the town of Waverly, Pennsylvania, as “The Comm,” has served the community and connected families for over 100 years.
With a century-long mission of enriching lives through educational, recreational, and cultural programs, the Waverly Community House required modernized systems to support its diverse activities. Throughout the years, the HVAC systems began to be replaced. GPI provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services for a study to replace the remaining HVAC systems at the 32,000 sqft community space.
The existing mechanical systems included steam heating and split system cooling, which were replaced with separate systems for each space. The new design incorporated Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology for both heating and cooling, as outlined in the preliminary systems report. The mechanical services also included local temperature controls and exhaust systems to improve comfort and efficiency throughout the facility.
Electrical engineering services covered a preliminary systems report, upgrades to the electrical service, and a new electric distribution system, including secondary wiring connected to the main panels. These improvements were essential to support the new HVAC systems and ensure reliable, modern infrastructure for the building’s continued use.
