			The county jail, located in Lafayette, 
			was in need of an expansion to provide additional capacity with an 
			addition of 208 beds and 43 new booking cells. The unusually large 
			size of the new booking area and need for large amounts of exhaust 
			required a solution that would minimize the costs associated with 
			treating large amounts of outside air. In order to achieve this, a 
			unique air handler design that uses an enthalpy heat reclaim wheel 
			was used for this area. The air handler design consists of a single 
			packaged system that utilizes variable speed fans to maintain a high 
			level of control of the space temperatures while minimizing energy 
			consumption. |  |  |  |
