Description

• Radiators and convectors are room-heating devices that emit heat from pipes through which steam or circulating hot water including traps that allow for the passage of condensate and the collection of undesirable material.
• Projects in this scope area may include installing new hydronic and/or steam radiators, condensate traps, and supply line connections; and installing new sealing, plasterwork/drywall, and flooring. The full, detailed scope of work for this project including any additional work areas will be updated here after alignment with project stakeholders through scoping and design activities.

Baseline

• Updates to existing hydronic heating systems should include:
  • Low water content boiler with sealed combustion intake and flue.
  • VFDs on heating and hot water (HHW) pumps.
  • Hydraulic coupler on HHW pipe system.
  • Indirect-fired DHW with storage.
  • Outdoor reset boiler control.
  • Fuel oil tanks.
• Hot water boilers that supply heat to the building through one- or two-pipe heating systems must have controls as mandated by regulating Codes. [COMPMOD]

Stretch

• Replace steam radiators with high-efficiency hot water convectors. [SA]
• Convert to a hydronic heating system if the building is optimally located near high-pressure gas lines. [SA]
• Replace existing central boiler systems with Far Infrared Heating (FIR) panels and electric baseboard heaters. [SA]
