Alachua County Courthouse Complex Accessory Energy Facility

Description

This project consists of the construction of the proposed Alachua County Court Complex Accessory Energy Facility located at 151 Southwest 2nd Avenue, Gainesville, FL. This energy plant is designed to accommodate the current and future court complex building thermal / heating & cooling needs utilizing an ice storage thermal storage plant as noted in the architectural, MEP engineering and civil site plan. The energy plant will be comprised of a 51’-4” x 35’-4” enclosed pump and utility house with a perimeter screen chiller and ice storage tanks to use off hour power usage for the court complex. The pump building will be a reinforced CMU wall with stucco exterior finish complementing the existing criminal and proposed civil courthouse buildings. The pump house will have a single ply roof system configured with a shed style roof and a parapet wall around the three public sides (north, west, and south). The storm water will drain off the roof’s east edge directly to a gutter system draining directly into the stormwater system as seen in the civil engineering drawings.
