EEFA Report Recommendations for Steam System Upgrades:
Install Multi-Sensor Thermostatic Heat Controls:
u
Traditional steam heat controls do not monitor apartment
temperature. Rather, they respond to external temperatures -the colder it gets outside, the longer the boiler runs, resulting in
overheating and uncomfortable residents. The solution? Replace
with smart, multi-sensor heat controls that monitor inside
temperatures like Danfoss Thermostatic Radiator Valves.
• Reduce high energy bills
• Control tenant comfort levels
• Save money
• Happy tenants, less complaints
• Less maintenance

Install Orice Plates on all Radiators:
Almost all two-pipe steam systems use radiator traps that typically
fail after a few years, resulting in underheating in some apartments
and overheating everywhere else. The report recommends
equipping each radiator with an orice plate; a small metal plate
about the size and shape of a bottle cap. These plates obviate
the need for most radiator steam traps, never wear out, and help
balance the steam system throughout the building.
• Eliminate costly radiator traps
• Durable design - install & forget
• Helps balance system
Leverage Energy Eciency Programs:
Government incentive programs for multifamily buildings oer an
additional return on investment for system eciency upgrades,
lower utility costs, create happier tenants, and increase occupancy
rates. Some current programs include:
• Con-Edison Rebate: Up to $45 rebate per TRV installed on
one-pipe steam stysems. Learn more: bit.ly/ConEdRebates
• National Grid Rebate: $50 each, limit 20 per gas account.
