Building Steam Management Advisory for Spring 2024

Posted on by jepeters

Reminder About Seasonal Building Steam Management

As the warmer weather arrives, CPFM Facilities Services will again implement its process for systematically deactivating the heat within steam-controlled buildings.

These locations include the following:

  • Agate Hall (gym/auditorium)
  • Cascade Annex
  • Collier House
  • Columbia Hall (Room 154)
  • Condon Hall
  • CPFM Buildings
  • Esslinger Hall
  • Fine Arts Studios
  • Friendly Hall
  • Frohnmayer Music (radiators only)
  • Gerlinger Hall
  • Hendricks Hall
  • Huestis Hall (heat exchanger HEX-3 only for fin tube radiators)
  • Lawrence Hall (primary studios)
  • Lokey Education (East and West)
  • Mac Court (radiators only)
  • Millrace Woodshop
  • Onyx Bridge (072/090, 169/170)
  • Susan Campbell Hall
  • University Hall
  • Villard Hall
  • Volcanology Hall

Because turning off the system is an involved and lengthy process, Facilities Services has established the following methodology regulating when technicians will deactivate the steam for the warmer season:

As Spring temperatures become warmer, we systematically turn off the steam when outside nighttime air temperature is above 50 degrees for five (5) consecutive nights AND daytime air temperature is above 70 degrees for five (5) consecutive days.

Since Spring temperatures may vary widely from day to day, building occupants can expect inside temperatures to fluctuate until outside conditions meet the above criteria, and technicians can deactivate the steam.  A notice will be sent when the process begins.
