Description of work: This project consists of modifications to the existing Central Chiller Plant located in Building 600 at Schriever Air Force Base near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The modifications of Building 600 will include automating the chiller plant, adding optimization controls, and revising the cooling tower sump fill controls.
