Upgrade a level 1 trauma center’s aging system to provide a more resilient, reliable, and efficient system that supports their needs today and allows for increased capacity well into the future.
Develop, finance, construct, own, and operate the UPMC Mercy central utility plant that provides 100% of the cooling, heating, and back-up power needs to their 404-bed healthcare campus.
Interconnect the UPMC Mercy system with Duquesne University’s system (also owned and operated by Cordia) to achieve maximum reliability and efficiency.
Through a 20-year energy services agreement (ESA) and following a 2-year design and build phase, UPMC Mercy has an always-on system, which produces:
150,000 pounds of steam per hour
3x the cooling power than before
7.5 MW of emergency power
Through Cordia’s system acquisition and management, UPMC can worry less about energy distribution and capital shortages and focus more on the community they serve.
