COMMERCIAL BOILER SYSTEMS INITIATIVE

CEE has launched a Commercial Boiler Systems Initiative, effective June 1, 2011. Through this Initiative, CEE will support members’ efforts and work together to achieve the following goals:

• Increase the number of new commercial boiler systems operating in the condensing range
  
  
• Increase the number of existing commercial boiler systems that are optimized to operate at the highest efficiencies allowable for the given system throughout the year
  
  
• Increase the number of quality installed and maintained high efficiency commercial boiler systems
  
  
• Educate building owners, design engineers, and contractors on what constitutes high efficiency in a given system and options for maintaining high efficiencies throughout the life of the boiler
  
  
• Educate contractors on the importance of and how to conduct quality installations and maintenance for high efficiency commercial boiler systems
  
  
• Encourage creation of an enhanced efficiency metric for commercial boiler systems—in place of the current steady state boiler metrics—that better captures the infield operating efficiency of the boiler system throughout the year
