Bill Mahoney is a mechanical engineer and project manager at RMF Engineering, specializing in the design of new and renovated chilled water plants. He has extensive experience in energy analysis, utility load profile analysis, master planning for growth, life cycle costing, preparation of bidding and construction documents for both single and multi-phase construction, construction management, and commissioning. Bill has analyzed and designed plants using a number of chilled water generation sources including single and double effect absorption, gas engine, steam turbine, combustion turbine, and variable speed electric chillers.
Circumstances converged to construct a pair of plants on campus in a short timeframe. However, these projects weren’t identical twins by any means: different needs, locations, and other factors drove some major differences, from cooling towers to standby power.
