The goal of the Ice Damming committee is to continue to investigate the ice damming situation on all the Units at OGT and step by step eliminating the problems that are causing the ice damming. 

We will do this  by finishing the initial work that was started in the attics (insulation of pipes etc). Investigating and carrying out new remedies such as raising the dryer vents and finding cost effective heat tape (or similar) manufacturers and installers. Another area we would like to investigate if the above does not suffice is to hire a building envelope specialist to see if spray foam in the attic space is an option.
