At the Peoples Bank building, crews are advancing on the HVAC phase of construction. This stage establishes the essential components of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system before drywall installation. Crews are focusing on the first-floor ceiling vents where suspended ducts branch out through the building. Every connection is tightly sealed to ensure the system operates efficiently. Their work will provide proper airflow and allow for easier maintenance in the future.
