What we did
This project in Franklin took place at a multi-building property where the goal was better HVAC efficiency. Our work focused on the ducting serving the upper levels of Building #7 and Building #8, along with several thermostat and airflow improvements.
In addition to the ductwork, we relocated a thermostat to the dining room. We installed three new Ecobee thermostats, giving the property updated controls across the spaces they serve. We also added a pass-through return above the kitchen door. A pass-through return gives air a path back toward the system when doors are closed, which helps air circulate rather than getting trapped in one room. All of the work was carefully executed to support good performance throughout the facility.
Upper floors are often the hardest areas to keep comfortable, especially during a Kentucky summer when heat rises and humidity hangs in the air. Ducting, return air paths, and thermostat placement all play a part in how evenly a building heats and cools. For a property with multiple buildings, getting those details right helps the HVAC equipment do its job across every space it serves.
