I'm an architecture student designing a dorm for the Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY. The school already has a geoexchange system that provides ground-temperature water to buildings. There is also a system that supplies buildings with steam. I'm attempting to implement in-floor radiant heating/cooling. I was wondering if there is a system that will convert steam to hot water, or use steam to heat the ground-temperature water that can then be fed through the floors. Any suggestions would be very helpful! Thanks!
please use electric heating wires like everybody else
You can use the water from the boiler that creates the steam, there's plenty of literature out there on how to do this. Start thinking heat exchanger.
