Session Abstract

Due to campus growth and a desire to address aging infrastructure in the face of bold carbon targets, Princeton University has made significant progress on the conversion from steam-based heating with an all new geoexchange-based hot and chilled water central plant. The TIGER plant includes thermal energy storage, heat pump chillers, and EN253 standard pre-insulated distribution piping. This presentation provides an interim construction progress update for this leading-edge conversion in a historic university campus setting.
