The company's objective was to upgrade the heating system. The existing system was inefficient and had high energy consumption.
Furthermore, the continuous convective motion of the heated air raised dust, making breathing hazardous, and control over performance and costs was very imprecise. Finally, the space occupied by tanks, radiators, and the thermal power plant amounted to as much as 1,600 m². All of this made the management of the system difficult and inefficient.
