The project converted all the fuel oil boilers and hot water heaters to natural gas. The existing boilers are approximately 13 years old, about 75% of their life expectancy, and operating at about 80% efficiency. The new natural gas system will increase efficiency, reduce annual energy costs and reduce our overall carbon footprint.
The GRLF financed this project for $375,000. We expect about $40,600 in annual savings and about a 200 ton reduction in our campus carbon footprint.
