Abstract:
The Energy Center Building at the Naples Community Hospital, Naples, Fla., was designed to house the hospital’s electrical and mechanical equipment including chillers, emergency generators, and boilers. For both esthetic and functional reasons, concrete was chosen as the building material. Removable precast concrete panels were used to accommodate anticipated growth of the hospital and its electrical and mechanical systems.
