Conversion from centralized steam plant to decentralized hot water plant
Expected disruption: The facilities affected during this phase will include the Administration Building, Perrin Hall and the J.W. Jones Student Union. Additionally, exterior tunnel construction is anticipated.
Anticipated efficiencies: The new equipment is expected to produce and distribute hot water more efficiently than the centralized steam plant and will give Northwest the ability to reduce or turn off hot water systems during cooling seasons.
HVAC upgrades
Expected disruption: Upgrades may impact the Administration Building, B.D. Owens Library, Everett W. Brown Education Hall and the J.W. Jones Student Union, among other buildings. These disruptions are planned for the summer months to limit student impact.
Anticipated efficiencies: The new equipment will improve reliability, reduce disruptions and improve comfort inside buildings. Monitoring systems will help Northwest predict and repair issues before they arise and cause disruptions. The new HVAC equipment is designed with modern energy codes, resulting in more efficient heating and cooling inside buildings.
