®W Johnson f Controls��( Police Department I riproyements A complete review of the Police Department area and an interview with the Police Chief and staff revealed a number of outstanding concerns in this area of the City Hall building. The room that has been converted into an IT (computer network) room is in need of cooling to make the space usable as an office and to provide critical cooling for the present computer system. Also, the cooling unit addition will be needed for the planned computer system expansion and will provide the ne dehumidification for the space. High humidity levels in a computer environment can cause equ cessary ipment failure. Also identified was the need for critical exhaust fans to address the removal of foul odors in the Police Station. The present fan in the intoxication room is not adequate to clear the odor from the room. The two interview rooms are also under ventilated with no way for the air to leave the room. The evidence room has a critical need to exhaust the fumes from various illegal drugs / evidence that is stored in this room. Presently, these fumes are moving into the working environment. The Police Chief and Officers are concerned about the potential of cross contamination from suspects and evidence that is brought into the building. The garage area also needs to have the area exhausted due to the housing of "stray" dogs and animals that occurs in this space. Currently there is no ventilation for this space except for the garage doors, which is a security risk if any of the doors were left open. All the above recommendations are critical additions to the Police Station environment; however, there is no energy savings associated with these additions.
