Project Details

WFT Engineering completed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system design development and is now entering the construction document phase for Rockville Metro Plaza II. The building is similar in size to Rockville Metro Plaza I and includes 17,000 sf of street level retail space. HVAC for the office floors is provided by a water-cooled, self-contained, variable air volume air conditioning unit on each floor. A dedicated cooling tower and condenser water system is to serve future retail tenant air conditioning units as well as air conditioning units for office floor tenants requiring 24/7 environmental control. Special attention has been given to the Owner’s desire for energy efficiency, including a building automation system and occupancy-sensor lighting control. WFT Engineering participated in a pre-design charrette with Foulger Pratt and the architects to explore the possibilities for LEED certification.
