District energy systems are highly efficient solutions to heating and cooling multiple buildings from a central plant.

A complete energy audit of the primary-secondary chilled water system from the central chiller plant to the individual buildings that make up a casino’s 12-building complex. 

This month’s B2B focuses on Design-Bid-Build Project Delivery.

I just spent $3,700 for a dealer to inspect and repair my daughter’s 8-year-old passenger minivan. The value of the vehicle is about $4,200; however, a new replacement would have set me back $27,700 (less the trade-in value).

Approximately six years ago, we visited the manufacturing plant of one of the largest boiler manufacturers in the country. The visit was related to a specific project that required high-efficiency condensing boilers for heating and steam boilers for humidification.

When the time comes to replace a cooling tower, all too often the recommendation is to source an identical replacement; however, cooling tower technology is evolving, and some building owners are reaping the rewards by researching the benefits of the newest options.

A Missouri college called late last fall with a problem. Its heating system, a central campus heating water boiler plant with two pumped loops and three distribution branches, had developed a leak in the loop to the library building across the quad.

This month’s Facility File will focus on the B2B November test for the addition of a 100-ton, year-round cooling tower addition as standby to an existing, older cooling tower serving a process cooling system in a pharmaceutical facility.

Built in 1983, One Logan Square is a 32-story office tower in Center City Philadelphia. The building was recently renovated, and the last remaining need was replacement of the original cooling tower.
