Cycling & Fitness Studio HVAC Upgrade
With cycling and many fitness classes relocating from the temporary location of the large gymnasium to the studios downstairs, you may be wondering about the air quality. We are excited to share that the HVAC Upgrade which began in July 2020, was recently completed. The new system has replaced the 100 year old steam heat system in the Cycling Room, Fitness Studio & Party Room areas.
While the old radiators will remain in place, the heating and cooling system will now pump out air through the vents located in the ceiling. This State of the Art Reverse Refrigeration Variable Refrigeration Flow (VRF) will allow us the ability to condition several spaces independently from one another. The upgraded duct work will create additional airflow with 20% outside air.
If you have questions or would like more information about the HVAC system upgrade or health & safety of the fitness studios, please reach out to our VP of Operations, Heather Chandor at hchandor@midymca.org 860-343-6207
Key benefits of VRF/VRV air conditioning systems:

Sophisticated, easy to use controls
This upgrade to the HVAC system in the cycling fitness studio sounds like a game-changer! Proper air circulation is key in keeping the environment comfortable and healthy, especially during intense workouts. It got me thinking – integrating advanced air quality monitoring would be an excellent next step. With real-time air quality data, the system could adjust ventilation and filtration levels automatically, ensuring the air stays fresh and clean throughout every session. This would be a great way to enhance the overall experience, especially for those who are sensitive to air pollutants or allergens while exercising.
