3 large single fans were replaced with HUNTAIR FANWALL® allowing existing VFD controls at the airport to continue in service rather than having to purchase higher HP VFDs, result: significant cost saving. Each replacement project was accomplished in compliance with the airport's extremely tight timelines.

(28 storeys near the northeast corner of 104th Avenue and 101st Street) opened in 2012. Its design will include an east-west orientation, giving its long wall a sunny southern exposure, high-performance glass to reduce heat loss and gain, and low-flow water fixtures. The building is expected to receive a silver.

84 HUNTAIR Fan Cubes have been configured into FANWALL® for installation in spaces where conventional fans will not fit. First, old fans were cut in pieces to be removed from the air systems. Then fan cubes were moved through doorways as small as 36" where they were joined together to create.
