PALM
BEACH GARDENS, Fla., July 11,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global Corporation
(NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe,
sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions, has
entered into an agreement with Office Partners XXIII Block G1 LLC
(Office Partners) to design, build, own and operate the heating and
air conditioning plant at the new FNB Financial Center in
Pittsburgh. Carrier will provide a
turnkey high-efficiency heating and cooling plant for the new
building that will contribute to the building's targeted LEED
Silver rating. Supported by its advanced Abound digital controls
and BluEdge services capabilities, Carrier's Cooling-as-a-Service
offering will deliver high energy efficiency, uptime and
comfort over the life of the contract while reducing operational
cost risk for the building owner. Office Partners, the owner and
development company for FNB Financial Center, is comprised of the
Buccini/Pollin Group (BPG), the Pittsburgh Penguins and other
investors.
FNB Financial Center is a new 26-story and 475,000-square-foot
mixed-use tower with Class A office space that will consolidate FNB
Corporation regional headquarters operations. The FNB Financial
Center is the first step in the redevelopment of the 28-acre site
in the Lower Hill District of Pittsburgh.
"Carrier is excited to collaborate with BPG and the Pittsburgh
Penguins to make this transformational project a resounding
success," said Rajan Goel, Senior
Vice President, Building Solutions Group, Carrier. "Carrier is
bringing the most innovative and advanced service capabilities to
design, install and operate this plant providing a highly
intelligent, sustainable and productive building space."
Carrier helped design and configure the 1,250-ton central plant
to include best-in-class Carrier chillers combined with
high-efficiency condensing boilers that are continuously optimized
by advanced controls. The plant will be backed by Carrier's Abound
IoT platform for remote monitoring including advanced analytics for
continuous commissioning and diagnostics to deliver high
availability of cooling and heating capacity. Carrier service
experts will operate, maintain and upgrade the plant for the life
of the contract to ensure it is performing to the highest level of
energy efficiency, maintaining comfort for building occupants and
delivering lowest cost of operations.
"FNB Financial Center and the entire Lower Hill redevelopment
will be a catalyst for the City of
Pittsburgh. The Carrier team collaborated with BPG and our
construction and design partners to provide a unique development
solution coupled with ongoing operational efficiencies when
construction is completed," said Chris
Buccini, President, BPG. "This will complement our efforts
to meet or exceed the goals of Pittsburgh's 2030 District and position FNB
Financial Center as a leader in the future of commercial office
buildings."
Construction of FNB Financial Center is led by P.J. Dick and JLL
is the owner's advisor for the Pittsburgh Penguins on the project.
Construction of the tower is expected to be completed late
2023.
"In keeping with the vision to bring innovative sustainable
solutions to our clients, JLL is delighted to have partnered with
Carrier to provide a high-efficiency Cooling-as-a-Service solution
that meets the energy and sustainability outcomes for one of the
most advanced community and sustainable projects in the region and
