Features
Scalable and flexible building systems were key design goals to accommodate the planned future growth. TLC designed a new central energy plant with a 300-ton cooling capacity, which can be expanded to handle an additional 1,600 tons of cooling, plus a future steam boiler and more generators. Sustainable design features include premium efficiency motors, heat recovery and frictionless options for chillers and LED lighting. Premium glass reduces solar heat gain, contributing to the facility’s energy efficiency.
