Years ago, companies set-up central boiler plants to supply steam to
buildings in the center city areas.  The steam was used for heat, both
air and water.  I know that in Louisville, KY, there was still such a
system operating as of a few years ago.

I guess that these systems are still in use because of the prohibitive
cost of retrofitting modern systems into old buildings.  It'd be
interesting to know if there are any new buildings being built that use
central steam plants.

Take care - Elden
