Phase I: Master Plan
Detailed energy master plan for the entire campus analyzing the existing heating & cooling load, as well as analyzing the upcoming building loads. As a result, we performed an extensive life cycle cost analysis to justify the replacement of the existing central heating & cooling plant, and we performed all upfront analysis to justify the construction of a new 1,000,000 gallon tank of chilled water thermal storage system (TES).
Phase II: Design Phase
The new central plant consists of three 500 ton high efficiency YORK chillers, three cooling towers, primary chilled & condenser water pumping systems, high efficiency condensing boilers (Patterson Kelly) variable heating hot water pump system and a new 1,000,000 gallon chilled water storage tank. The entire new central plant is equipped with open architecture direct digital control (DDC) system for energy and continuous optimization.
Phase III: Construction & Commissioning
The project was constructed and commissioned into two phases. Phase one was the construction of the new chiller, boiler, pumps and cooling tower, as well as campus-wide underground chilled & hot water distribution. Phase two was the construction and commissioning of the new 1,000,000 gallon TES tank.
