Abstract
A government complex consisting of a number of
State, County, and City buildings is currently under
construction in the downtown area of Miami, Florida.
Thermo Electron Corporation and Rolls- Royce Inc.
are providing a unique fuel saving cogeneration system
to supply the air conditioning and electrical
power requirements of the complex. This $30 million
cogeneration plant will occupy a portion of a multiple-use
building which will also house offices, indoor
parking facilities, and additional building support
systems. Locating such a powerplant in downtown
Miami presents significant construction scheduling,
environmental, and engineering challenges. Issues
such as space limitations, emissions, noise pollution,
and maintenance have been carefully addressed and
successfully resolved.
