Project Overview
High-Performance Domestic Gas Hot Water Heater System for a World-Class Venue
Accardi Companies is proud to announce the successful completion of a major domestic hot water (DHW) system deployment at Barclays Center, one of New York City’s most recognizable and demanding multi-purpose entertainment and retail destinations.
Located in the heart of Brooklyn, Barclays Center hosts millions of visitors annually through professional sporting events, concerts, large-scale productions, and high-traffic retail and hospitality operations. Facilities of this scale require absolute reliability, precise engineering, and future-ready mechanical systems—especially when it comes to domestic hot water.
Project Overview: Commercial Domestic Gas Hot Water at Scale
To meet the operational demands of this iconic venue, Accardi Companies engineered and provided two gas-fired domestic hot water storage systems manufactured by Patterson Kelley.
These systems were specifically designed to support:
- High-volume restrooms and concession areas
- Food service and hospitality operations
- Retail tenant hot water demand
- Peak-load event scheduling with zero tolerance for downtime
The result is a robust, scalable, and energy-efficient hot water infrastructure capable of performing under extreme usage cycles typical of large entertainment arenas.
Why Patterson Kelley for Large-Scale Venues
Patterson Kelley equipment is widely recognized across New York City for mission-critical applications where performance and longevity matter. For Barclays Center, the selection of gas-fired DHW storage systems delivered several key advantages:
- Consistent hot water delivery during simultaneous high-demand events
- High thermal efficiency, supporting long-term operational cost control
- Durable commercial construction built for continuous operation
- Code-compliant and future-ready, aligning with NYC mechanical standards
Accardi Companies worked closely with project stakeholders to ensure the systems were properly sized, specified, and integrated into the building’s mechanical infrastructure—minimizing risk while maximizing performance.
