Central Plant

At Stueven Engineering, we understand systems engineering as it applies to central heating and cooling processes to the overall building comfort/environmental conditioning. We determine the facility owner/user's requirements and budget conditions in order to meet project specific heating/cooling demands. Our methods include detailed analysis of the building loads and profiles for heating and cooling, and hydronic analysis by utilizing computerized simulation programs. Our experience includes:

• Chilled Water - air cooled and water cooled chillers; primary/secondary and variable primary systems
• Heating Water - gas-fired boilers and steam systems
• Thermal Energy Storage (TES) - ice and water storage systems
• Controls and algorithms for heating/cooling plant sequence of operations
• Energy studies for alternative plant systems
