The Beating system should be <br /> rewo`rked to use hot water in lieu of the current steam system. This would require running <br /> new piping from the existing boiler room under the Cafeteria or creating a separate small <br /> boiler for this building. By replacing the steam beat with hot water, the condensate lines that <br /> run throughout the building may be abandoned. A new cooling system should be provided <br /> utilizing the existing cooling tower located to the west of the building and the pumps located <br /> adjacent to the girls' toilet. A new HVAC system could be designed that would <br /> accommodate both heating and cooling functions in one air handling unit.
