Seattle University goes back to the basics with heating, cooling upgrades

摘要

Two unique energy efficient upgrades were made to Seattle University's Lemieux Library and the McGoldrick Learning Commons-a new addition to the library and LEED certified. Like many established institutions, Seattle University was on a legacy steam system, installed more than 100 years ago. The University decided to go with a campus-wide hy-dronic system starting with a unique retrofit to the university's boiler room. This first phase of the project utilized a primary/secondary pumping arrangement to heat five buildings on campus.
