On behalf of the DVRPC Circuit Rider Program Practical Energy Solutions (PES) performed an energy assessment of the Cheltenham Township Rowland Community Center. The Rowland Community Center (39,969 ft2) is a multiuse facility housing community meeting rooms, classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, and the East Cheltenham Public Library. The original three-story building was constructed in 1915 and a one-story addition was added in 1964. PES found that the building’s high-efficiency boiler is unable to operate at maximum efficiency due to incompatibilities with the high temperature demands, constant-volume piping, and thermostatic controls of the building’s fan coil units (FCUs). PES therefore recommends assessing the feasibility of a full upgrade of the FCU system (including water piping and controls).Geographic Area Covered: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery counties in Pennsylvania
Key Words: Energy, natural gas, electricity, energy management, heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC), boiler, CO2 emissions
