The boiler system at Columbia Teachers’ College in New York City had been in need of an upgrade for a while, but the cost of new boilers created a challenge confronted by many facilities with tight budgets and aging boiler rooms. Faced with a system that had numerous problems, administrators had to find a solution they could afford. Would their limited budget scuttle their plans to improve the boiler system?
In the Spring 2021 issue of Today’s Boiler, David Bohn, president and CEO, Prefered Utilities Manufacturing Corp., spotlighted the energy-saving “linkageless” control system that was implemented at Yeshiva University in New York City, resulting in big savings through both energy rebates and overall reduced energy consumption. Now, we’re taking a look at a similar university application, but this time we’ll be focusing on the wide-ranging benefits of retrofitting.
