Heating PlantCentral Heating Plant Equipment Optimization- Add electronic controls to existing boilers to better regulate their operation and cycling behavior; plus add two variable frequency drives to existing 75 hp motors to minimize the energy used to pump steam.  Together these improvements will reduce electrical consumption by 185,000 kWh/year.  This is equivalent to the energy saved/year in 12 homes in the McMinnville area.
