Office Building 1350 Avenue of the Americas It’s easy to locate 1350 Avenue of the Americas (AOA) during a blackout in New York City – it’s the place with the lights on. The building is a beacon in the darkness because it doesn’t fully rely on Consolidated Edison for its power – thanks to natural-gas microturbines from Capstone Turbine that generate electricity and heat onsite. On the 16th floor set-back roof of the 35-story building sit 12 Capstone C65 High Pressure Dual Mode ICHP units that create an individual power plant generating 780kW of clean and secure electricity – about 35 percent of the building’s day-to-day electricity needs – regardless of the status of the aging electric grid surrounding it. The power plant of Capstone microturbines is owned and operated by OfficePower Inc., a Connecticut-based company that offers multi- tenant office building owners an option that once was impossible: energy independence and financial competitiveness. OfficePower is teaming with Capstone to increase the facility’s power reliability and overall asset value by reducing 1350 AOA’s consumption of grid power during high-cost peak periods. In addition, the Capstone microturbines provide thermal energy that carry up to 80 percent of the building’s heating load during colder months. A Capstone Heat Recovery Module is installed on the top of each microturbine, capturing exhaust heat energy normally unused and sent into the atmosphere. “In the office space real-estate market, the newest amenity that is rapidly becoming a necessity is a building’s ability to deliver power,” said Joel Wilson, CEO of OfficePower. “Energy is the raw material for production of financial services, legal, accounting, and other similar enterprises.” At a glance Location Manhattan, New York, USA Commissioned • 2006 – 12 Capstone C60 High Pressure Dual Mode ICHP units • 2008 – all 12 microturbines upgraded to C65 High Pressure Dual Mode ICHP units Fuel Natural gas Technologies • 12 Capstone C65 High Pressure Dual Mode ICHP units generating 780kW of clean-and- secure electricity. • Capstone Heat Recovery Module on each microturbine captures exhaust heat energy. Customer • OfficePower Inc., a Connecticut-based company that offers multi-tenant office building owners energy independence and financial competitiveness. • Building: 1350 Avenue of the Americas, a 35-story office tower in Manhattan. Results • Capstone microturbines provide 35% of building’s day-to-day electricity needs and up to 80% of heating needs. • The microturbines are 2 to 2.5 times more efficient than a central fire plant. • Microturbines cut the CO2 footprint in half, or better. • During a “grid event” the microturbines reconfigure near-seamlessly to provide back- up power to designated “protected” loads. • Building’s total power costs are never more than the cost of remaining tied to the grid.PDF Image | Office Building 1350 Avenue of the Americas
