Enhancing Comfort at Navy Pier with Electric Heated Air Curtains: A Mars Air and Gunn & Pegelow Collaboration
Situated along the picturesque Lake Michigan shoreline in downtown Chicago, Navy Pier stands as a prominent family attraction, with a transformative update completed in 2016. The ongoing construction, known as The Centennial Vision, aims to elevate the visitor experience, and Mars Air, in collaboration with Gunn & Pegelow, is playing a crucial role in enhancing the indoor environment.
Tasked with optimizing the environmental conditions at the site, Gunn & Pegelow collaborated with Mars Air to implement cutting-edge air curtain solutions. Focused on the Centennial Vision site, located near the iconic Ferris wheel, their goal was to create obstruction-free protection at various building openings, ensuring a cleaner, more comfortable, and sustainable interior environment.
A Few of the Challenges Gunn & Pegelow Faced
Navy Pier faced challenges related to maintaining consistent temperatures, preventing outdoor contaminants, and ensuring a pleasant experience for the millions of tourists visiting the site. The prevailing winds from Lake Michigan were causing discomfort, requiring a solution to address temperature variations and the entry of flying pests and debris.
Gunn & Pegelow’s Heated Air Curtain Solution
Gunn & Pegelow, leveraging Mars Air Systems’ innovative technology, strategically installed electric-heated air curtains above multiple entrances and spaces at Navy Pier. These air curtains created an invisible barrier, effectively blocking wind gusts and maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the interior. The collaboration aimed to deliver comfort, protect against external elements, and enhance the overall visitor experience.
The Gunn & Pegelow Process
The implementation process involved the careful selection and installation of Mars Air Curtains, tailored to the specific requirements of Navy Pier. Gunn & Pegelow’s expertise ensured that these air management solutions seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure, contributing to the overall success of The Centennial Vision construction project.
