Work on the drains continued into November 2009, and additional photos of the construction project can be viewed here. Stacking of the new retaining wall on the west side of Buildings C and D commenced during late November 2009, and some photos of that phase of the construction project can be viewed here. The new retaining wall on the west side of Buildings C and D  (a few photos can be viewed here), and the new stairs were completed during December 2009, which can be viewed here.  Improvements from Building C and D Drainage Project Emerge  The drainage improvement project around Buildings C and D, in combination with the new high-efficiency boiler systems in those same buildings, is demonstrating benefits to the Association.  The winter of 2009/2010 was much colder than average in Summit County, and gas consumption in Buildings A and B increased 5 to 7% through January 2010, compared to the prior winter. Buildings C and D, however, experienced decreases of 30 and 24%, respectively, in their gas consumption compared to the priorwinter.  The new high-efficiency boilers in Buildings C and D were an obvious contributing factor. A secondary benefit from the new boilers is that the exhausts exiting their rooftop stacks are much cooler than before, so less snow now melts from the roof near the stacks and then drips onto the sidewalks below.  And what water is forming at ground level from snow melting in the daytime on the west side of Buildings C and D is being carried away much better than in the past by the new drainage system. So, Buildings C and D are having much less of a problem with large ice patches forming on the westside ground walkways -- unlike the ice buildup that was occuring that winter on the walkways of Buildings A and B.  Resident Manger Tom Brennan photographed the ice buildups of A and B, and the lack thereof at C and D, for posting to the website.  His album of photos can be viewed here.  With new boilers now installed in Buildings C and D, as well as the new drainage system, hopefully these energy use inefficiencies and ice buildups will not be a problem in the upcoming winter of 2011/2012.
