"What this wall does is it provides you with tremendous amounts of heated fresh air for free... This is a really cost effective way of improving the work place."

SolarWall for Commercial and Industrial Buildings

SolarWall systems address the largest consumers of heating energy, which is the commercial and industrial sector.  It takes a tremendous amount of energy to heat a building, and the SolarWall technology represents the lowest cost solar option to displace a sizable potion of this energy requirement.

Commercial and industrial facilities require a high volume of make-up air to satisfy indoor air quality standards. This incoming air can be preheated with a SolarWall system before entering the building, which decreases the load on the traditional heaters. This generates significant energy savings – typically in the range of 20-50% of heating fuel consumption. SolarWall systems are sized to meet the energy & ventilation requirements of the facility, bringing in anywhere from 2 to 10 cfm per square foot.  Since the SolarWall technology heats fresh air, it ensures a high level of indoor air quality.

The SolarWall technology is a repeatable energy solution and is easily adapted to meet site conditions.  It is building integrated and has no maintenance associated with it, other than the normal upkeep on the ventilation fans. As well, it can remedy many heat stratification issues that plague large buildings.

Corporate Green Strategies: Large organizations are progressively moving towards the increased use of renewable energy to decrease their carbon footprint and to reduce energy costs. Today’s corporate green strategies make sound financial sense by reducing onsite energy costs, as well as demonstrating good corporate stewardship.

Bettering the Bottom Line:  The energy component of a company’s operating budget is often one of the most under-targeted areas for cost reduction.  Given the increasing and volatile nature of conventional energy prices,  corporations are starting to realize that cutting long term energy costs can be one of the easiest ways to reduce expenses and free-up money that can be put to more profitable uses.
