Project: AOL- Time Warner Inc

Construction Budget: $200 Million Dollars

Completion Date: 2003

Total Square Footage: 2.5 Million

The new 750-foot tall AOL Time Warner Center building at One Central Park consists of 2.5 Million Square Feet of space and comprises a twin-towered multi-use complex. The building will house the AOL Time Warner World Headquarters, a 250-room/suite luxury hotel, spaces for retail, entertainment, restaurants and offices, 225 luxury apartments, the CNN Live broadcast production studios and a concert hall for the use of Jazz at Lincoln Center.

McClave Engineering P.C ., working through Utility Programs and Metering, provided electric metering and sub-meter consulting to the building. Due to the diverse and large number of tenants within the building complex, accuracy and reliability of the electric, water, gas, steam and chilled water metering systems is essential.

Through our consulting we reviewed the designed sub metering system and all of the building’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans. We identified and made suggestions as to areas where the designed metering system could be enhanced to avoid missing critical data and for systems to be reconciled.
