M cKenney’s designed and built an HVAC system with wireless controls to replace window air conditioning units and radiant heat at an Atlanta charter school. THE CHALLENGE Working with Southface energy consultants, McKenney’s needed to help the school qualify for project funding from the Grants to Green program.
