Smithgroup Office Tour – $25

Arizona Center (Walking Tour, Departs from Sheraton Lobby)
Sunday, June 22nd, 2025 │ 3:30 p.m.

SmithGroup has had a Phoenix office for almost 50 years and moved to the Arizona Center in 2003. SmithGroup decided to stay in the same location when their lease was up for renewal and taking advantage of the unique office space with high sloped wood ceilings and large open spaces. The space is conditioned by three different system, package rooftop units, water source heat pumps and a chilled beam system, due to the layout of the office. A dedicated chiller and DOAS unit were installed for the chilled beam system. Airflow distribution was greatly improved in the areas that are conditioned by the package rooftop units. These systems were part in the office obtaining LEED and WELL certifications.

Cordia Central Plant Virtual Tour – $0

Room 224 B Phoenix Convention Center
Tuesday, June 24th, 2025 │ 2:00 p.m.

Cordia’s Energy Center Phoenix (ECP) consists of three interconnected plants, two of which house ice tanks used for peak load shaving.

Plant 1 consists of two dual service chillers, each capable of providing the distribution system with 2600T of chilled water, or 2,200 nominal tons of chilled glycol to the 36,000 TonHR thermal storage (ice) tank. It is located just behind the Chase field ballpark.

Plant 3 consists of six 1250T water chillers that reside within and primarily serve the Chase Field facility. The condenser water for these units is piped outside the building to their respective cooling towers, sitting directly across from the Plant 1 facility.

Plant 2 is housed within a subsurface portion of the Phoenix convention center. It consists of seven 2000T chillers and a single 1000T chiller. Four of these chillers are dual service, and can provide glycol cooling to the 60,000 TonHR thermal (ice) storage tank.

The ECP distribution system serves over 40 customers in the downtown Phoenix area with approximately 28,000 tons of cooling at peak capacity. A fourth chilled water plant is planned for completion in Summer 2027 and will add 10,200 tons of capacity to the ECP district chilled water system.
