Space Heating Case Study
Make-Up Air Unit
A well-known national distributor used a competitor's "draw-thru" make-up air unit in a space heating application at their 158,000 sq. ft. facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
- Temperatures inside the building fluctuated plus/minus 9°F.
- Utility bills confirm gas & electric operating costs at $0.21 per sq. ft.
Cambridge Space Heaters
Their similar distribution center in Rochester, New York is now more evenly heated with Cambridge
"Blow-Thru®" space heaters at a much lower cost.
- Building temperature remained within much tighter plus/minus 4°F range.
- Gas and electric operating costs were only $0.10 per sq. ft. That is a 52% reduction in utility bills for a building located in a much colder climate.
At $0.10 per sq. ft. the St. Louis building would have saved $17,380 a year!
