The decision to convert from steam to hot-water heat was an easy one for Steve LaFlamme, president and CEO of Oneida Real Estate Services. In all, LaFlamme has chosen to replace steam with hot-water heating systems in four of the downtown Duluth buildings his firm owns or manages: the Northland Building, the Stanley Center, the Beal Building and the Wells Fargo Center.
