Turning on and off the steam is very hard on the infrastructure serving our building’s mechanical systems. Below is the seasonal building steam management reminder.
Seasonal adjustments are based on the following format:
Steam is turned on in the Fall when:
- Night-time outside air temperature is below 50 degrees for five consecutive nights
- AND daytime temperatures are below 70 degrees for five consecutive days
Steam is turned off in the Spring when:
- Night-time outside air temperatures are above 50 degrees for five consecutive nights
- AND the daytime temperature is above 70 degrees for five consecutive days
