Case Studies
 Illinois Manufacturing Plant
125,000 sq. ft.
Problem: Two manufacturing companies shared this 50-year-old brick building. The gas-fired hot water boiler system had high operating and maintenance costs. Employees of both companies complained the dock door areas were always cold during the winter.
Solution: The boiler heating system was
replaced with small, energy efficient gas-fired
space heating system installed around the
perimeter of the building. Fuel usage declined
62%. Combined with lower maintenance costs,
the owners saw a simple payback of less than
two years for their investment in the new
heating system. The employees of both
companies also enjoyed warm, balanced
temperatures throughout the building, even
at the dock doors.
