摘 要:INTRODUCTION As owners contemplate major capital upgrades and investments into their existing chiller plants,several considerations become apparent and require a thorough *** primary considerations include:Age of existing equipment,existing load profile,utility rates,building occupancy and tenant use,property repositioning plan,lease type and the property’s asset strategy,and *** Aventine’s case,the building was considered by most real estate professionals and owners as a relatively young building at 17 years *** building and chiller plant still had a good five to seven years of serviceable *** challenge in this particular case was to propose an upgrade justifying replacement of this still functioning chiller plant while asking for approximately$500k in capital expense *** addition to describing the technical features of this next-generation chiller plant system,this case study will attempt to integrate fi nancial decision making attributes that assisted in the decision making *** focus of this paper is to differentiate this technology and approach with major chiller plant upgrades.
