Impact of a new slab thickness on Mechanical Systems

The intended redesign in steel of the Generic Building Name will result in an addition of beams and girders in the ceiling cavity space. The mechanical system will have to be altered to fit the space constraints Therefore a short analysis of the duct work would be beneficial. An entire redesign of duct work is not part of this breath only a preliminary schematic layout.
