Glenerry Elementary School Replacement

Overview

Client School District 20
Sector Institutional
Scale 26,000 sq. ft., 2-Storey, 500 Students

Glenerry Elementary is a new 2-storey, 26,000 sq. ft. replacement school in Trail, BC, serving up to 500 students and including a full gymnasium. We delivered the HVAC contract including sheet metal, plumbing, controls, and commissioning.

The Challenge

Schools require mechanical systems that provide reliable comfort and ventilation across a wide range of occupancy types — individual classrooms, a gymnasium, and shared spaces — while remaining straightforward to operate and maintain by school district facilities staff.

Our Solution

Two air source heat pumps provide primary heating and cooling, supported by six backup boilers for secondary heating. A full hydronic system, including primary and secondary loops, heat exchangers, buffer tanks, and pumps, ties the system together. Each classroom is served by a dedicated unit ventilator providing heating, cooling, and ventilation. A separate AHU serves the gymnasium. The school has been in operation since September 2025.
