Stanford's Bing Concert Hall is a 900-seat concert hall with lobby, ancillary

space, back-of-house support space, academic and administrative offices, and

conference rooms. This facility also includes lighted pathways, walkways, and

landscape areas, as well as an amphitheater and other high-value outdoor

use spaces.

The mechanical systems at Bing Concert Hall delivers comfortable conditions

for both audience members and performers, while also meeting tight indoor

temperature and humidity constraints for a number of critical instrument

storage areas. A major system-design driver was the need to meet stringent

NC-15 noise criteria in the auditorium space. To meet this goal, Taylor

Engineering provided a displacement ventilation system in the auditorium

with separate temperature control zones for the stage and house.

Bing Concert Hall's central systems consist of campus chilled and hot water

that is delivered to custom air handling units selected for high efficiency,

quiet operation. Additionally, advanced building controls applied throughout,

dynamically adjust system operation at least 4 times per hour to minimize

energy use in a continuous manner.
