Atlanta, Georgia

Maxon, a District Energy and Green Power developer, was featured prominently in the May 2007 issue of Engineered Systems magazine.

“It’s laid out so education is a big focus,” said O’Connor. “We have plasma TVs inside the plant just to gather around to look and educate them [the residents] on what is working and where water is going and why it does what it does. We actually got LEED points for our innovation in education for developing a plant that everyone at the development gets to enjoy.”

The project employs one of the most environmentally friendly central cooling systems in the Southeast, and serves as an excellent model for other aspiring green developments. “It does’t look like any district energy plant you’ve seen,” said O’Connor.

“It’s a pretty sexy looking plant with glass windows and neon lights, and we light up the chillers and cooling towers [at night], and we have neon signs and plasma TVs. It’s a pretty rock and roll plant.”
