Boiler Rooms & Heating Plants

Baseline

  • All new boilers must be specified with outdoor temperature setback control, hot-water temperature reset controls, modulating burner, boiler turndown and entering water temperature as prescribed by Code.
  • Install all-new high-efficiency gas-fired condensing steam boilers, decentralized (per building) where feasible. [PACT]

Stretch

  • As per NYCHA’s electrification goals, prioritize electric-fed boilers over gas-fired.
  • Install gas-fired condensing domestic hot water boilers at each building using existing piping networks. [COMPMOD]
  • Evaluate options for heating system upgrades including hydronic conversion from steam with gas-fired or electric boilers where applicable. [PACT]
  • Install gas-fired condensing domestic hot water boilers at each building using existing piping networks. [COMPMOD]
