Burj Khalifa Tower
Dubai , UAE

The Project:

  • Formerly Burj Dubai Tower – designed by Adrian Smith and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in Chicago.
  • Mixed-use tower featuring world’s first Armani Hotel Dubai and Armani Residences, alongside corporate suites, residences, retail and leisure facilities.
  • Located downtown Burj Dubai, a 500-acre mega-development by Emaar Properties.
  • At 2,716 ft. (828 m), it’s the world’s tallest structure.

ENERVEX Solution:

  • Six demand-controlled inline Mechanical Draft Systems for the building’s water heaters and steam boilers.
  • Heating appliances are exhausted via six chimney flues, each with an integrated inline Mechanical Draft System.
  • Chimney flues mostly running horizontally through building, terminating to the outside via sidewalls and through the ground for aesthetics.
  • Systems provide ventilation to the mechanical room by maintaining an air exhaust rate while controlling the chimney flue draft, as well as the combustion air intake.
