Feature Presentation:

Wastewater Energy Exchange ; Re-defining Underground Economy 

 

Building and municipal sanitary wastewater has traditionally been ignored as a heat transfer medium, despite its attractive source temperature, typically between 72 F and 65 F.  New technologies are available that facilitate the opportunity to exploit this medium as a heat-source and heat-sink, reliably and economically. When coupled with this technology, conventional commercial mechanical HVAC equipment & systems can (1) lower heating and cooling operational costs, (2) deliver competitive, or better, green HVAC system installed costs, (3) facilitate viable and scalable energy recovery opportunities, (4) reduce or eliminate carbon-based fuel consumption. Waste-water energy exchange is proving to be a viable and credible means to improve on the energy and environmental bottom-line. A wide array of building and mechanical system applications are in a position to take advantage of this development, to name a few:

Apartments,  Condominiums, and Retirement Facilities, College & University Campuses, District Energy Systems, Hospitals, Long-term Care Facilities, Sports and Recreation Centers, Industrial Facilities, GEOTHERMAL Systems, Public & Institutional Buildings and Commercial Buildings.
