Largest LEED-Gold Industrial Building: LEED-Ready Cambridge Technology was used to heat the largest LEED-Gold certified industrial building in the United States. Construction of the 1.5 million-square-foot facility was completed in May 2010. Other types of warehouse heating/ventilating systems were considered but the engineering firm specified an energy efficient, cost effective Cambridge Blow-Thru® design because of their success using these amazing heaters on many previous projects. The easy to install thru-wall mounting option was selected to keep the heaters off the roof and reduce installation costs. It was reported that energy efficient Cambridge heaters combined with efficient lighting account for a 50.2% energy savings over a typical warehouse. Read More….

Cambridge and Philips Lighting (Crescent/Stonco) have formed an alliance promoting energy efficient heating and lighting to the warehousing industry. It’s called The Power of Four because this unique program also includes a leading tax firm for obtaining EPAct Federal tax benefits and a banking partner to provide 100% financing when required. This “first of a kind” program provides a complete warehouse energy management solution for both new construction projects and upgrades to existing warehouses. Building owners, property managers and their tenants can now get the latest energy efficient warehouse heating and lighting technology without any cash outlay and then qualify for government stimulus money by getting a $1.20 to $1.80/sq. ft. EPAct tax deduction. This can be 100% lease financed creating a positive cash flow from day one based on lower utility bills. A recent blog from Modern Materials Handling (MMH) Magazine explains the benefits to Warehouse and Distribution Center (DC) operators.

Warehouse Heating Retrofits Are “A NO-BRAINER” is the topic of this 2010 article in Retrofit Magazine. Installing a new warehouse heating system will save energy, reduce the building’s carbon footprint and increase profits for owners and tenants. Best of all, big EPAct Federal tax benefits are now available for pre-qualified Cambridge Blow-Thru space heaters when used in eligible warehouses. So the decision to retrofit an existing warehouse with an energy-efficient Cambridge heating system is now a “No-Brainer.”

Cambridge Selected as ENERGY® STAR Partner.
Cambridge Engineering has been selected by the EPA and DOE as an ENERGY STAR® partner to help save energy in commercial and industrial buildings. ENERGY STAR is the Department of Energy (DOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national program for superior energy management. Energy is often the single largest operating expense for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, indoor sports facilities and many other commercial/industrial buildings that require both space heat and ventilation with outside air. Cambridge has joined the ENERGY STAR Service and Product Provider partnership as a recognized supplier of energy-efficient, direct gas-fired space heating and make-up air heating equipment. Hundreds of building studies document up to 70% energy savings for Cambridge Blow-Thru® Space Heating Technology.

New Energy Modeling White Paper
A new white paper summarizes the results and conclusions of the first published energy modeling analysis predicting energy performance for six types of gas fired warehouse heating systems. The computer simulation analysis includes comparisons to the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline heating system. This white paper can be used as a basis for selecting the most energy efficient space heating equipment for LEED buildings, utility rebate programs and projects that qualify for Energy Policy Act (EPAct) federal tax deductions. Energy modeling results from this study found direct fired Blow-Thru Space Heating Systems used the least amount of energy.
Green Industrial Plants and Profits is the topic of this Plant Engineering article that features energy efficient Blow-Thru space heaters. The article explains how the right space heating system can save energy, improve indoor air quality and help industrial facilities get “greener” by reducing their carbon footprint. A Best Practices Guide for industrial space heating is also presented. This expanded article reprint includes more information about energy modeling and how to reduce stratification.

Modern efficiency, is the title of this 2009 magazine article about a new 6-acre indoor sports facility that utilizes energy efficient, cost-effective Cambridge Blow-Thru Space® Heaters. The facility owner said “we wanted the best heating system possible.” Natural gas usage was lower than expected despite a very cold first winter. Even temperatures throughout the sports facility were achieved without stratification despite a 72-foot high ceiling.

Cambridge plant retrofit project wins
"Best Practices
ENERGY Award"
From Steam to Green is an expanded version of an article titled "Reduce Space Heating Energy Consumption" that was published in the February 2008 issue of Plant Services Magazine. It documents a steam boiler retrofit where Cambridge helped a company save enough energy and maintenance costs to pay for a new "greener" heating system. The new direct gas-fired heaters also improved ventilation for the plant, solved their negative air problem and provided increased employee comfort levels. CO2 greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 393 tons/year, the equivalent of taking 72 cars off the road or planting 11,800 trees over a 10 year period. Read More...

The Kansas City Business Journal published a 2008 article describing the traits that make warehouse and distribution space more desirable. It notes the trend that distribution facilities are on the average growing larger. Companies are looking for bigger and more efficient distribution space. A list of 10 desirable traits in distribution space that commercial real estate companies consider includes more efficient heating and in particular, Cambridge Engineering warehouse heating systems. The Business Journal is quoted as saying, “Through-the-wall heating systems, such as those designed by Cambridge Engineering, are more efficient and save clear space compared with the overhead, gas-fired heaters common in industrial buildings.” Visit www.bizjournals.com for a reprint of this article.

Energy Stewardship means reducing the energy a building consumes to provide a safe and productive environment. This "Expanding Your Business" magazine article explains why Energy Stewardship does not need to come at a premium. Using Cambridge direct gas-fired heating equipment is one way to save energy, reduce air pollution and increase profits while doing it. For a 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Chicago, Cambridge Heaters can reduce energy usage by 50% and prevent 44 tons of greenhouse gases (CO2) from going into the atmosphere each year. That's the same as saving $75,000 in energy costs and planting 1320 trees over a 10 year period. Read more...
