The Challenge

PAWS needed to renovate their facility to improve environments for both animals and staff. One of the client’s main concerns was improving ventilation and temperature control. However, the facility’s current electrical service could not support the HVAC upgrades. The facility’s renovation was also more complex because it required all
corrosion-resistant, animal-safe materials. Additionally, PAWS needed a backup generator, to prevent HVAC downtime and the need for animal relocation.

KEDbluestone Solution

We redesigned the electrical system to incorporate a backup generator, ensuring cooling and ventilation would be maintained in case of a power outage, preventing the need for animal relocation. We utilized stainless steel enclosures, ensuring all materials were animalsafe. We increased the electrical service, allowing the facility to receive the necessary HVAC upgrades. As a result, the facility now has an upgraded electrical service, an upgraded HVAC system, animal-centric, corrosion-resistant environments, and a system that includes a backup generator for peace of mind.
