The Challenge
Heating a new-build high-rise condo during winter
A new 21-story luxury condo faced a cold, damp winter, when the municipal gas line that would have fuelled its heating system was delayed.
That meant no heating to dry out the construction, or when the building was finished, and winter was fast approaching.
The owner/builder initially considered open flame heaters fuelled by kerosene or propane but venting off the carbon monoxide would have increased fuel costs. Electric heaters don’t produce enough heat and indirect air heating – reheating the outside air – was costly.
