The project
McKenzie Electric Cooperative’s campus in Watford City has three buildings totaling 80,000 square feet: an administration building, a warehouse and vehicle storage.
ThermaRay thermal mass floor heating panels went in under the slab. Inside the steel frame, the panels were laid in rows on a bed of sand and wired together before the slab was poured.
