ASHRAE Technology Award: Old School Learns Cool New Tricks
Northwestern High School in Maple, Wis., which was built in 1937, got a new lease on life when the oldest portions of the building were removed and other sections were repurposed. This major renovation included demolishing the steam heating system, relocating the boiler room and replacing the old equipment. One chiller was installed to serve four air-handling units. This project resulted in a reduction in EUI of 40 kBtu/ft2 yr.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, vol. 54, no. 5, May 2012
