Project Overview

Boiler Replacement Project Overview / Scope: – 223,000 SF University Library
– Not looking for just a one-for-one replacement
– Engineering analysis conducted
– Produced Construction Documents
– Provided all Construction Coordination for owner
Project Accomplishments:
– Developed most cost-effective long term solution
– Original Plant oversized
– Engineered sizing saved over $40,000 in first cost
– New plant (3 boilers) provides redundancy in the event of boiler downtime
– Engineered hybrid approach
– Incorporates condensing and high-efficiency non-condensing boilers
– System design maximizes condensing boiler efficiencies during off-season
– Design allowed for re-use of existing HVAC system HW Coils
– Performed flawlessly in record cold winter of 2013-14!
– Energy Savings versus original system approximately 15%
– Project completed on time and without impacting library operations
