Best Practices of Utilities in Building Design for Cold Climate Applications

When designing the utilities for buildings in cold climate applications, there are important considerations that need to be taken in order to ensure the systems equipment operates efficiently and safely. Issues such as reliability, redundancy, freeze protection, adequate fuel storage, and back up heating systems are just some of the possibilities if a designer is unaware of the concerns. With the experience and knowledge of others described within the cold climate design guide, designers can learn the various strategies used to safeguard equipment against cold climate conditions and allow the equipment to work seamlessly.
