Installed along the building’s south side, the SolarWall surface consists of a black metal skin with perforations that collect heat from the sun. The solar energy generated from the wall preheats the outside air, which is then sucked through the building’s gas furnace, allowing it at times to run without burning gas, thereby reducing the company’s heating costs.

The new facility also features 2,500 square feet of Solarwall transpired collector surface to help convert solar energy into heat. It’s projected to produce 550 million BTUs of heat per year and prevent nearly 44 metric tons of carbon dioxide greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
