The South Landing development in Spokane, Wash., began with a bold vision from Avista’s Chairman and then CEO Scott Morris. When Morris learned the University District Gateway Bridge would land on Avista’s property, he knew it was a golden opportunity to create what he envisioned as “the five smartest blocks in the world.”
C-RTU installation is very similar to the installation of conventional gas rooftop units (RTUs). However, C-RTUs require careful attention to condensate management, including specific approaches to piping, pumps, neutralizers, and freeze prevention. This guide references code requirements, manufacturer instructions and practical experience to provides tips and best practices for installing C-RTUs.
This guide outlines best practices for the proper installation of condensing rooftop units (C-RTUs). These recommendations are based on a comprehensive field study conducted during the 2018/2019 heating season, in combination with a literature review of state and national code requirements and manufacturer guidelines.
