T
he heating system at Sierra Grande K-12 school in Fort
Garland, Colo., was struggling. Of the three old, 1.8
million BTU boilers in the mechanical room, one had
been down for quite some time. Another caught fire early in the
heating season.
It was then—when only one unit remained—that school
administrators decided it was time to implement the retrofit they'd
been planning for the 80,000 square-foot, 42-classroom school.
