CITY DISTRICT ENERGY SYSTEM – COMBINED HEATING, COOLING AND POWER

Role

Operate & Maintain

The Midtown Thermal Control Center (MTCC) was a Greenfield development project, which emphasized the developer’s long-term vision of a city-wide district steam and chilled water system, built in multiple phases. The initial phase included central steam (boilers) and chilled water production and distribution piping. A latter phase added a combined heat and power plant to the production facility.
