We had just about the whole crew out on this one finishing up. There is a party scheduled here tomorrow and there must have been 50 people working in the house.
We started this one almost two years ago. Here is a link to a previous thread on this project:

The total square footage is aboyt 27,000 sq. ft. on four levels. The entire house is heated with radiant floor heat with a hydro-air second stage. Here are some photos of the house:

Cooling System
We have two 15-ton chillers feeding 17 airhandlers. The air handlers are a combination of standard low velocity systems and Hi-V high velocity systems. We also have a refrigeration unit for the wine cellar and a small split system for an apartment over the detached garage. -DF

Heating System
The heating system is powered by two Knight boilers with two electric boilers providing back-up. A 119 gal. dual coil Super-Stor indirect provides DHW. The system is controlled by tekmar sequencing /mixing controls with Belimo 3-way motorized valves providing the mixed temps.
An Aprilaire/Enerzone communicating thermostat system controls the radiant, second stage hydro-air and cooling system. It is tied into a Tronarch BMS system. I like the Aprilaire thermostats because you can adjust the second stage differential. In this case, the second stage hydro-air will not come on until the temperature falls four degrees below setpoint.
The basement slab is tubed with Wirso tubing and the upper floors are piped with extruded plates. The two garages are also heated. We isolated these two zones with a FlatPlate heat exchanger and charged with glycol in case they are turned off.
While just about everyone in my company worked on this project at some point, this one was definitely Papa's baby from start to finish. Brian stepped in to help Papa pipe and control the boiler room and chillers. -DF

Design
Hi Devan,
This one was deigned in-house using a combination of programs including: Wright-Suite for load calcs, ADS for radiant design, Taco HSS for flow calcs, Visio for piping, duct and control schematics, layouts and flow diagrams. Dom from Wirsbo did the tubing layouts for us. -DF

Thanks
Thanks for all the nice comments. We just returned from a nice catered party thrown by the owner for all of the subs who worked on this project. There must have been 200 people there. I have heard many promises of job ending parties when large projects commence. I can count on one hand the actual number that occurred in my twenty years in this business. This owner kept his word. - DF
PS Clammy, look me up when you are in DC. My number is 703-751-3288 -Dan

The best compliment I can think of Dan
Would be this; Your work looks like it belongs in that house.
Planning is key on a project that size and it looks like you did a fine job of it. A tip of my hat to you and the crew!0 -
Big job
Hi Dan:
Sounds like one of those "dream jobs".
No reflection on you, Dan, but let me guess: two people are going to live in this McMansion.

Outstanding Dan! You make an excellent example for us young guys on how to run, operate, engineer, manage, work, and maintain a profitable and successful company.
You are definitely one of my roll models,
