SES can help, whether you are replacing rooftops or upgrading to that new condensing boiler. We design the most efficient and feasible HVAC systems possible using the best available equipment on the market today. We realize first cost is important, but in this market, life-cycle cost is often even more critical. We recognize the need to keep a keen eye on both.
Como Zoo & Conservatory has ideal geological conditions for a geothermal heating and cooling HVAC system. We, along with Darcy solutions, performed an Xcel Energy feasibility study to determine how well Como Zoo would benefit from a geothermal heating and cooling system.
Simple paybacks periods ranged from 3-9 years.
In addition, Como Zoo’s Hoof Stock Barn had a failed steam boiler in need of replacement. Designing both a geothermal heating system, and a traditional high efficiency, condensing boiler hot water system provided Como Zoo with the flexibility in the final design.
Ultimately, the barn was selected to be “geothermal ready,” but equipped with a high efficiency condensing boiler to save on energy bills.
Choose both the most efficient and cost effective design for a dual loop heating system for the client:
A) 100% of load served by condensing boiler: Mothball 3 non-condensing boilers and install three 5,000 MBH condensing boilers
B) 40% of load served by condensing boiler, 60% non-condensing: Add two boilers, one condensing for the heat pump hot water loop and one non-condensing for the radiation hot water loop
C) 100% of load served by non-condensing boiler: replace non-condensing boiler with right-sized boiler and modulating burner, re-use existing flue
Answer: B
SES provided the design to upgrade a central heating system serving 4 buildings comprising of 300+ heat pumps, radiation, and fresh air units.
