It is important to note that the tests will not pose any health or safety risk.</p> <p>During these tests, we will temporarily increase steam demand beyond normal levels. This helps us simulate the impact of adding more buildings to our network, such as the New Vic, and ensure that our equipment can safely handle this increased demand. </p> Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:53:22 +0000 webfull 194845 at /channels /channels/channels/news/steam-and-noise-downtown-powerhouse-due-boiler-tests-352057 <p>As part of Æ»¹ûÒùԺ’s efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, a natural gas boiler in <a href="https://maps.mcgill.ca/?z=16.00&cmp=1&txt=EN&themeID=construction&themeShare=18-125" rel="noreferrer noopener">our downtown powerhouse</a> has been replaced by two electric boilers.
