Construction is underway for the new Crispus Attucks York African American History and Cultural Center in York, PA, whose dynamic form will provide a new dimension to celebrating black art and history and preserve and celebrate the rich history and vibrant culture of York. The mass timber structure has been erected, and MEP installation has commenced. Our design partner, Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects, has already received the AIA Central PA Design Award for this project and we're delighted to collaborate on what promises to be a culturally significant, vibrant gathering place where stories of perseverance meet a celebration of heritage. Read more about the progress here: https://bit.ly/3yPO6mg Stewart & Tate Construction #rmf #rmfengineering #engineering #designengineering

It’s been a fantastic week of sharing and learning at the 2024 Big Ten and Friends Utility Conference! Together with our engineering cohorts, facility owners, operators, and other higher education professionals, we are helping to define the future of higher education infrastructure and tactics to elevate sustainability. RMF’s Jared Markle, PE and University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)’s Jagdish J. Jani shared a compelling presentation on the enhancements of UMB’s electrical distribution system and the sustainable path forward for their campus. Here's to Penn State University for successfully bringing us together again at the Big Ten & Friends Conference! RMF was pleased to sponsor the event. #rmf #rmfengineering #electricalengineering #Big10AndFriends #CampusElectrification

RMF had the privilege of exploring Johnson Controls' new research and development complex to see the latest in heat pump technologies for district heating and cooling. This facility is an innovative haven for engineering and testing in the HVACR. A special thank you to JCI’s Stephen Lauer and Rich Grein and the entire R&D technical staff for showing us the future of chiller technology! #rmf #rmfengineering #engineering #chillers

Join us at Penn State University's Big 10 & Friends Utility Conference, where RMF’s Jared Markle, PE and University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)’s Jagdish J Jani will be discussing how strategic planning and innovative technologies have allowed for an upgraded electrical distribution system at UMB. This project not only fortifies the campus grid for future growth but also paves the way for sustainable initiatives like electrical vehicle charging and carbon reduction technologies. We are looking forward to sharing insights on overcoming urban construction challenges and the substantial impact this upgrade will have on UMB's vision of a greener tomorrow. Join us for a glance into the future of energy distribution!  RMF's Caroline Fitzgerald, PE and Brian Wodka, PE, CxA, CEM, LEED AP will also be attendance and look forward to connecting with you. We are a Bronze Break Sponsor.    Can’t make the conference, or want to know more about the project?

Farewell old steam absorption chillers, hello teamwork and innovation! Last weekend marked an exciting milestone in the intricate upgrade to Inova Fairfax Hospital's central utility plant, which replaced aged chillers with new high-efficiency, variable-speed electric centrifugal models. Not only does this enhance capacity and reliability, but it also significantly reduces our greenhouse gas emissions. The result? Nine active chillers representing a total installed plant cooling capacity of 11,750 tons, working synergistically with a satellite plant of two 1,800-ton chillers for a combined capacity of 15,350 tons. We're proud to be a part of bringing this advancement to Inova Fairfax Hospital! Fun Facts: 👉 This installation was complicated by a “no look” crane lift, which required trust and excellent directional communication over walkie talkie 👉 RMF also was part of the installation of new chillers at Inova Fairfax Hospital in 2013 👉 The new machines are each 1,250 tons capacity (54°F/42°F) using R514 refrigerant which has a low greenhouse gas factor.

RMF's Construction Quality Team has been diligently at work enabling DTE Vantage's efforts in bringing Ford Motor Company's new Central Utility Plant to life at Blue Oval City in Stanton, Tennessee (the site of a Ford automotive assembly plant, and a Ford / SK Battery joint venture battery plant). RMF has had boots on the ground since November 2022 with a team of full-time site inspectors providing daily CQM services for the plant that will deliver a sustainable, efficient, and continuous supply of utilities for the entire site. RMF is proud to fuel the future of the automotive industry and revolutionize transportation with our comprehensive utility and sustainable energy solutions!   The new CUP provides electrical power (15 MW), steam (320 KPPH at 150 PSIG), chilled water (50,000 tons), hot water (300,000 MMBTU/HR), cooling water (8,000 GPM), and compressed air (54,000 SCFM) to the entire site. The CUP produces these utilities with a combination of combustion turbines with heat recovery steam generators, centrifugal and heat pump chillers, geothermal wells, and a ten-million-gallon thermal energy storage tank. #rmf #rmfengineering #engineering #CQM #centralutilityplant

RMF’s Jared Markle, PE deep dives into the transformation of the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB)’s urban electrical delivery system and the years of careful planning and strategic foresight it has required to take on this campus electrical distribution upgrade in the Q2 2024 District Energy Magazine article, “Reimagining, and rewiring, an urban electricity delivery system.” With the revamped system, UMB sets the stage for boosting load capacities, promoting sustainable growth, and making strides in carbon reduction. Check out the full article to learn more about how UMB has turned the wheels for future expansions while maintaining resilience and reliability. This one is a must-read for anyone invested in urban planning, sustainability and smart energy! https://bit.ly/49Zp1CB International District Energy Association #rmf #rmfengineering #electricalengineering #sustainability #microgrid #urbanplanning

Guilford County Schools’ Peck Elementary K-8 Expeditionary Learning School is taking shape and well on its way to slated completion this fall! RMF recently got to check out the progress as we continue our MEP and building envelope commissioning services with High Performance Building Solutions, Inc. (BECx). Originally built in 1929, the school is being reimagined into a state-of-the-art Expeditionary Regional Magnet School to serve Greensboro area students, which is the first of its kind in Guilford County. Once complete, Peck Elementary will bring education alive through the concept of educational expeditions, hands-on learning, real-world experiences and a focus on collaboration and service-oriented projects.
