The '''Central Steam Plant''' is a cogeneration facility which provides power to several buildings on campus and to some local residents through the [[Virginia Tech Electric Service]]. The primary byproduct of the plant, steam is exhausted into the [[steam tunnels]] and is used for heating, cooking, cleaning, sterilization, and autoclaving in many campus buildings. The facility primarily relies on 3 smaller natural gas boilers, although there are two large, functional coal boilers.<slippymap lat="ref>http://facilities.vt.edu/energy-utilities/central-steam-plant.html</ref> {{#display_map:37.23214" lon="23216,-80.420689" |zoom="17" w18|height="400" h200|service="200"/>openlayers}}
