Kanab High School, built in the 1980s, is the only school in the Kane County School District without air conditioning and that still uses a coal-fired boiler for heating needs — the same system it has used since its construction.
KANAB — One of Utah's southernmost schools is finally set to receive air conditioning.
Through the grant, Kanab High School will receive funds totaling $5.7 million to remove the boiler and install a high-efficiency rooftop HVAC system that will provide cooling to every room of the school. "With this aging system, we have leaking pipes and valves and boiler tubes and these rooftop units would eliminate dependencies on those older systems," Dalton said. "It's difficult to not have those systems in place, and we know that with these rooftop units, each classroom will have control of their own heating and cooling by the teacher."
Dalton said that at this point in the process, no specific project timeline or construction start date has been identified but district officials are meeting with the U.S. Department of Energy on July 20 to iron out some of those details.
