How do the buildings get heated and cooled?
Your campus has a central heating plant, with massive hot water boilers. The water heated in these boilers is circulated through a system of pipes, pumps, valves, coils and heat exchangers to warm the air and the water in most of the buildings on your campus. Some areas are cooled by air conditioning systems – either massive central cooling plants or smaller package units. Similar to the heating systems, the cooling systems chill the water and circulate it through a system of pipes, pumps, valves and coils to cool the air in those spaces served.
