Heating system and asbestos floors at Folsom to be altered

Folsom Hall of Maine University will undergo renovation which will involve asbestos removal. The biggest change will be to Folsom's heating and cooling capabilities. The current boiler system, which runs on fossil fuels, only heats the building. The new system, an air-to-air heat pump, runs on electricity and converts chill water to cool air and hot water to heat.

"This new system, augmented by the up-coming wind turbine system, will greatly reduce UMPI's carbon footprint," St. Peter declared. While no final conclusions have been arrived at in regards to the wind turbine system, a local consulting company has been hired and negotiations are in the works.
