Summary

Due to expected campus growth, the University of Pittsburgh’s existing chilled water system will no longer have enough firm capacity to meet the future campus demand. A combination of existing plant upgrades and a new chilled water generation facility as well as extensive distribution piping is needed to satisfy the existing and future growth on campus. Challenges include economically phasing new chilled water capacity into the existing system while also accounting for future needs.
