MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER CHILLER UPGRADE
Client: City of Miami Beach | Miami-Dade County
This Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) converted the Convention Center cooling plant into a district cooling plant. This project shifted inefficient chilled water operations at City Hall to the modernized plant serving the Convention Center.R.J. Behar designed the underground piping, the supply and discharge wells, and the police station wells. RJ Behar prepared all site plans and permit packages for the supply and injection wells. The design followed the recommendations of a hydrogeologic report that included the construction of a test well on site to determine underground soil and hydrogeologic parameters. RJ Behar was responsible for all the utility coordination and pipe routing. The total program is expected to save the city $1.8 million each year in energy costs.
