Converted heating system from steam to hot water
Designed a steam to hot water conversion by installing a high temperature hot water boiler plant to serve the 1956 convectors and a low temperature condensing hot water boiler plant to serve the 1924 cast iron radiators.
Existing piping was reused wherever possible reducing the overall construction cost of the conversion
Occupants/Retreatants experienced notable comfort increase with no complaints of overheating in any of the project areas
