A facility's Central Energy Plant can account for 20% to 30% of it's total annual energy use. Consequently, the design of efficient central heating/cooling generating equipment and distribution systems will have a major impact on the overall operating cost of a facility.

Bridgers & Paxton has developed a national reputation in the design of innovative and cost effective engineering systems for Central Energy Plants and piping distribution systems. We have used sophisticated computer modeling and analysis programs to aid in the task of evaluating central plant design alternatives to achieve the required project objectives for cost effective energy efficient operation within project budget constraints. These programs simulate building energy utilization for a wide variety of specialized system applications, including Thermal Storage and Cogeneration. In addition, Bridgers & Paxton's piping distribution system modeling programs have been used for the design and evaluation of chilled water, steam, domestic water, and natural gas systems for numerous universities and college campus, medical centers, and industrial facilities.

Bridgers & Paxton's expertise in central plant master planning and design, including the related areas of cogeneration, thermal storage, cooling tower free-cooling, and primary/secondary pumping systems will ensure efficient central plant design and operation. Our Central Plant Design Group is head by Michael E. Dexter, P.E., Vice President and Manager of B&P's Energy System's Division.
