PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Katy Medical Plaza sits on more than eight acres of land in a fast growing area just west of Houston. When finished, the three-building complex will provide 150,000 square feet of Class A medical office space for some of the area’s best-known and respected physicians.

“The incremental capacity on the Trane screw chiller goes a long way toward keeping our energy usage down,” said Jay Gabrhel, president, J & S Mechanical. “With the Trane mechanical system and the tight construction of the building, we are enjoying approximately 40 percent to 50 percent savings in energy compared to a similar size building here in the Houston market.”
