The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Church History Library - Total Building Commissioning (TBC ) provided building commissioning services including LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) commissioning at the new five-floor, 250,000 sq. ft. Church History Library. Mechanical systems commissioned included HVAC for library, office, archive, and holding storage areas. The holding storage areas included secure and high-security holding and storage facilities which required high levels of protection from contaminants as well as extremely high levels of temperature and humidity control.

Constant and variable air volume air handlers with desiccant dehumidifiers and heat recovery systems were used to ensure the high levels of temperature and humidity control necessary for a library and archives facility of this caliber. The building houses long-term storage used cryogenic storage capabilities that required very strict temperature (maintaining constant -4 degrees F) and precise humidity control.
Also commissioned were high-level gas fire suppression and early detection fire alarm systems which utilized an air sampling smoke detection system and sprinkled and inert gas suppression systems.

• LEED® commissioning
• Gas fire suppression systems
• Early fire detection systems
• HVAC systems
• Constant and variable air volume air handlers with desiccant dehumidifiers
• Electrical power distribution systems
