The sidewalk might not seem too important to devote a page to it, but it will warrant a paragraph or two for the purpose of modernizing the home. First, the address will be stamped on the sidewalk of the building. This is to allow someone to find the address as quickly as possible.
Even more importantly will be the ground temperature during the winter months will be set to 54°F (12°C) for in-ground radiant heating. The idea is simple. The snow and ice will melt, and the sidewalk will be dry. This will reduce the workload required by the person that would shovel. Each building will have a shovel and a bag of rock salt in case the system fails, but this should be an exception rather than the rule. The reason for 54°F is because this is the ground temperature below the frost line. The system will take the warmer liquid in a pipe in the ground, and flow it to the sidewalk’s lines which will heat the sidewalk to 54°F. Since water freezes at 32°F (0°C), then the higher temperature will melt the snow and ice.
If you should notice that the system is not working, you would want to call maintenance to clear the sidewalk. This is very important to deal with for the safety of not only the public, but you and other tenants as well.
