Introduction
Temperatures in Reno vary greatly during the year and during a 24 hour period. A sophisticated heating and cooling system maintains comfortable temperatures throughout the worship building.
Elements of the system include:
3 "fan coil" units in the Great Room. (nos. 1,2 and 3)
A "fan coil" unit serving the Gathering Room (no. 7)
A "fan coil unit serving the rest rooms and nursery (no. 6)
An evaporative cooling tower
A buried water tank
A gas furnace
A chiller unit
Control System
There are control computers in the five fan coil units. Another controls the underfloor heating/cooling. There is also an unused control computer for irrigation control.
They are all connected together via a proprietary network. A communication oriented device provides a serial interface to this network and hence to the individual control computers.
