2005 ASHRAE Technology Awards: HVAC Retrofit: Heating Plant Retrofit For Canadian College
Collge Jean-de-Brbeuf in Montreal was in desperate need of a retrofit. The heating plants aged equipment was unable to meet the schools heating demand effectively. Some equipment was unreliable and inefficient. In addition, rapidly rising fuel prices were increasing the cost of operating the plant. The schools administrative director needed a solution to increase the plants energy efficiency to reduce its annual operating cost and minimize the impact of the rapidly increasing fuel cost.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, Vol. 47, No. 6
