HONORABLE MENTION | 2018 ASHRAE TECHNOLOGY AWARD CASE STUDIES

The Cotai Strip, which includes the Venetian Macau that


opened in 2007, the Plaza Macau in 2008, and the Sands
Cotai Central in 2012, have a combined net conditioned
floor area of 21.5 million ft2 (2 million m2), and includes
restaurants, retail shops, and a 15,000 seat arena.
