A LOT of universities have a central heat plant that pumps hot water to all the other buildings. I think steam has been phases out because it is so much more dangerous and electric pumps make it unnecessary.
- quickthrowman 2y agoYeah, a lot of institutions are removing steam for heating and replacing it with glycol loops.

- quickthrowman 2y agoMuch lower maintenance, and VFDs have made pumping glycol a lot more energy efficient than an older across-the-line starter.
