Although its primary tenant is the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL), the state-of-the-art arena also is home to Seton Hall University’s men’s basketball team and the New Jersey Ironmen of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Since opening in 2007, “The Rock,” as it is now known, has served as the most visible symbol of Newark’s newly revitalized downtown, a role that was fortified by the design of Morris Adjmi, a renowned New York architect who deliberately chose specific building elements to highlight the bond between the city and its The Prudential Center in Newark features vast expanses of clear Solarban® 60 glass by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly gleaming showplace.

  • Optinet Sequence of Operations
    New Jersey Devils Arena Case Study New Jersey Devils Arena Application The Design Problem: The New Jersey Devils were looking to build a new ice hockey and sports arena for their operations, a facility which is now called the Prudential Center. It was designed with a budget of $375 million by architects Morris Adjmi and sports facility specialists, HOK. Vanderweil Engineering who did the mechanical design for the project was charged with designing an arena that needed to be energy efficient, have an excellent indoor environment regardless of whether the facility was used for hockey or monster truck rallies, and finally that the facility would have the best ice in the NHL. To help achieve these goals in a cost effective and reliable manner Vanderweil turned to Aircuity and its unique platform. Specifically Vanderweil was looking to achieve several different sensing objectives in order to meet the arena’s performance, energy and environment goals. Firstly, to efficiently provide the best ice in the NHL, they needed a means to accurately and reliably sense dewpoint at many different points around the arena in order to be able to properly control the air dewpoint to prevent condensation on the ice that would soften its surface. Accurate control of dewpoint is important in an ice arena since too high a dewpoint can soften the ice whereas to low a dewpoint can waste significant amounts of energy due to the large amount of outside air required in an arena. Additionally, accurate dewpoint information can also be used to help optimize the refrigeration of the ice sheet to achieve hard ice with the optimum energy usage.
