Project Description
The City of Cape Town Civic Building is situated on the foreshore in Cape Town.
The project scope included the replacement of two chillers, their associated pumps and control panels.
This is an existing HVAC installation and the chillers supply a portion of the building. The chillers have reached the end of their useful life and have become expensive to maintain. The project involved investigation into the extent of the existing installation to be replaced.
This is a large building with a huge HVAC component, and it was critical to select chillers that are energy efficient and employs the latest control technologies. The chillers are also controlled and monitored by the building BMS system.
Unique Features and Challenges
- Energy-efficient installation
- Situated in an existing basement with very little available headroom
