The Nicholasville Police Department will serve the City of Nicholasville and will house all police department functions.
The mechanical design for this project included an air-source Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system and packaged rooftop equipment for select spaces. Continuous exhaust and ventilation requirements for the building are maintained by Energy Recovery Units, which provide energy savings during the building’s 24/7/365 operating hours. All HVAC equipment is integrated into a central controller for scheduling, maintenance and troubleshooting.
Domestic hot water will be provided by electric water heaters. Fire protection will be provided by a wet pipe sprinkler system as well as a clean agent suppression system that will be utilized to protect the 911 dispatch area and related electronics. The electrical systems will consist of creative lighting designs and energy-efficient lighting. The building will incorporate a wireless data network infrastructure and a digital CCTV camera system.
