The University of Notre Dame’s football facility ensures peak performance and endless hot water for its athletes with an installation of two iN401s.
At a powerhouse collegiate program like the University of Notre Dame, the athletic facilities must operate flawlessly to support the demanding schedules of its players and coaching staff. Following intense practices and game days, the UND football locker rooms experience extreme, concentrated spikes in domestic hot water demand. To handle this massive post-game shower rush without dedicating huge amounts of mechanical room space to inefficient storage tanks, the facility upgraded its infrastructure to a high-efficiency tankless solution.
The program installed two Intellihot iN401 units, delivering industrial-grade heating capacity precisely when it is needed most. Utilizing masterless cascading technology, these units seamlessly communicate to balance the heavy load. If one unit requires routine maintenance, the other automatically takes over, providing built-in redundancy that guarantees players and staff never face a cold water event.
By eliminating traditional, bulky boilers, the facility reclaimed valuable square footage and significantly reduced the standby energy waste associated with keeping hundreds of gallons of water heated 24/7. The result is a smarter, more resilient hot water system built to match the high standards of Notre Dame football.
