The Project

Franklin Plaza had deferred maintenance for years and the building systems were outdated. The heating plant burned dirty #6 oil and was highly inefficient, being kept on throughout the summer just to produce hot water. The project converted the fuel from oil and separated the heat and hot water systems.
