Stanford's Bing Concert Hall is a 900-seat concert hall with lobby, ancillary
space, back-of-house support space, academic and administrative offices, and
conference rooms. This facility also includes lighted pathways, walkways, and
landscape areas, as well as an amphitheater and other high-value outdoor
use spaces.
The mechanical systems at Bing Concert Hall delivers comfortable conditions
for both audience members and performers, while also meeting tight indoor
temperature and humidity constraints for a number of critical instrument
storage areas. A major system-design driver was the need to meet stringent
NC-15 noise criteria in the auditorium space. To meet this goal, Taylor
Engineering provided a displacement ventilation system in the auditorium
with separate temperature control zones for the stage and house.
Bing Concert Hall's central systems consist of campus chilled and hot water
that is delivered to custom air handling units selected for high efficiency,
quiet operation. Additionally, advanced building controls applied throughout,
dynamically adjust system operation at least 4 times per hour to minimize
energy use in a continuous manner.
