Broadly speaking, six fresh air supply units with a nominal capacity of 8,000 l/s each, located under the roof structure in LGE-2 have reached the end of their life and must be replaced. Two of the units serve LGE-1 and four others serve LGE-2. The six existing units must be replaced by two roof-mounted air conditioning units with a calculated capacity that is sufficient for the current needs of research activities carried on at the two LGEs.

This project is part of a larger project to minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at NRC-ATC that was previously the subject of a feasibility study by Unigec in 2019. This project is not currently funded, but all construction work completed by the time it is funded shall comply with the basic principles of the 2019 study. Another study by Unigec in 2019 described the possible solutions for replacing the units referred to in this call the RFPs.
