This restaurant in Mashpee Commons on Cape Cod has all new sealed combustion, high efficiency gas furnaces with integral central A/C systems and full make up air kitchen exhaust hoods with preheating.
The challenge on this project was to integrate a large amount of heating, ventilating and cooling equipment into a small space above ceilings, while providing a comfortable and quiet environment for the dining patrons. The kitchen is integral to the dining room and required a large amount of make up air from the kitchen hoods to be preheated.
All of this occurred in a building with other tenants and restrictions on hiding roof equipment to minimize the visual impact of the quaint shopping area.
