Society high-rise project wins Project of the Year
The Building & Construction Division of the Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) honored the Society Orlando complex with the Project of Year Award due to its use of plastic piping materials in both the hybrid air-and-water HVAC cooling and its domestic water supply systems. The award was presented to PPI-member company Uponor. The Society Orlando is a two-tower, 1.5-million-square-foot, mixed-use, high-rise project in downtown Orlando, Florida Central Business District. By combining Uponor PP-RCT and PEX pipes, the installation cost was cut by 70% while providing piping systems that will not corrode or tuberculate and are designed to last the life of the structure.
Each year the PPI membership reviews and votes on Project of the Year and a Member of the Year for each of the five PPI divisions. The awards were presented during the group’s worldwide membership meeting held May 9 - 12, 2023.
