Mechanical and electrical engineering services were provided for a new 41B District Court building. The courthouse is a two-story building with a full basement and a flat roof, encompassing approximately 67,170 square feet including the basement. The building includes a secure area in the basement for defendants, offices, court support spaces, courtrooms and probation offices. The mechanical system features consist of a closed-loop hybrid ground source heat pump system and 100% outside energy recovery units located in the basement. All heating and cooling for the building was provided through the heat pumps with some supplemental electric heating devices provided for areas not served by the heat pumps and in some cases to supplement the heat pumps serving areas with large exposures. A closed circuit evaporative cooling tower located on the roof was used to supplement the heat rejection of the ground loop. ## Blog Latest industry insights from the best [Visit our Blog →](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/blog) ## Related Projects ![Baldwin Public Library Youth Reading Area 533x324](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Images%202020/market-project-pages/markets-government/7%20City%20of%20Birmingham%20Baldwin%20Library%20Youth%20Collection%20Addition/Baldwin%20Public%20Library%20Youth%20Reading%20Area%20533x324.png) #### City of Birmingham The Baldwin Public Library, serving several surrounding communities, underwent a recent expansion and renovation of its Youth Room [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/baldwin-public-library-engineering-lighting-design-services) ![Ford Community Performing Arts Exterior](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Government/Ford%20Community%20%20Performing%20Arts%20Exterior%20533x324.webp) #### City of Dearborn The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn was designed as a multi-use facility with amenities for the civic center’s recreation and performing arts [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/city-of-dearborn-mechanical-electrical-plumbing-and-lighting-design-services) ![Grand Blanc Township Police Department](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Government/Grand-Blanc-Twp-Police-002-533x324.webp) #### Grand Blanc Township The new Grand Blanc planned municipal campus began with the construction of Township’s police headquarters building.
