Building System air conditioners
The mechanical systems of Scaife Hall in 1961 were much different from today. There were three heating and air conditioning units serving the whole building. The mechanical room was located on the basement floor where two heating & AC units were installed. The #1 heating & AC unit was dedicated to the conditioning work of the basement, ground floor, first floor and second floor spaces, while the #2 heating & AC unit served the nearby Lecture Hall on the first floor. For the third floor, there was a penthouse beyond it, which was equipped with the #3 heating & AC unit to serve the third floor.
The most significant feature of the mechanical systems in 1961 was the implementation of dual-duct air mixing boxes to control and handle indoor air. All air cells shown on the drawings were in the floor construction above. The ceiling of this floor was used to serve the air mixing boxes on the floor above. Besides the regular internal air supply outlet, there were a set of sill treatment units installed along the building envelope to control the peripheral air temperature. The air to the window sill treatment shall be supplied from the air mixing boxes at the ceiling below.
