The department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) has a requirement for the development of the Plant Explorer, a virtual and customized 3D interactive viewer interface of up to five (5) Central Heating and Cooling Plants (CHCP) operated in the National Capital Region (NCR). 

The goal is to achieve the highest feasible density point cloud / 3D model with interactive features, in order to provide prospective Public Private 



Partnership (P3) proponents with all of the relevant information within 



one customized central viewer which allows the user to navigate through 



a virtual version ofeach plant.

The Energy Services Acquisition Program (ESAP) of PWGSC was conceived 
to update the heating and cooling methodology and technology - 
installed over 50 years ago, to over 80 buildings within the NCR. As part of this modernization initiative, ESAP will be converting up to five (5) CHCPs operated in the NCR from high pressure steam / high temperature hot water systems, to low temperature hot water systems. The pr



oposed modification will likely be carried out through a P3 procurement 



model.
