Moona Restaurant
The Moona Restaurant project in Cambridge, Massachusetts required a highly technical HVAC solution to support both guest comfort and intensive kitchen operations.
The system design incorporated three water-source air handlers to provide precise zoning, efficient heat transfer, and stable temperature control throughout the space. Integrating these units demanded careful coordination with the building’s water loop system, balancing flow rates, heat rejection, and redundancy to maintain consistent performance.
The kitchen ventilation system added another layer of complexity, combining a high-efficiency pollution control unit with a dedicated kitchen hood and exhaust fan to manage grease, smoke, odors, and heat while meeting strict local and state code requirements.
Air balance, static pressure management, and makeup air coordination were critical to prevent negative pressure conditions and ensure proper operation of both front- and back-of-house systems.
Executed under a $500,000 contract with CAFCO Construction serving as general contractor, this project demonstrates RMN Mechanical’s technical expertise in delivering complex, multi-system restaurant HVAC installations in a dense urban environment with demanding regulatory standards.
