CAMBRIDGE COMPARATIVE BUILDING STUDIES
Cambridge conducts onsite building studies at no cost for qualified facilities using other types of heating systems. These are compared to similar buildings with a Cambridge Blow-Thru heating system. Comparable building studies, along with heat load calculations and in some cases energy modeling by a consultant, are used to predict the energy savings from installing a more efficient Cambridge heating system. The following examples show the potential energy savings and impact on our environment if buildings from 50,000 to 1.3 million square feet replace their current heating system with higher efficiency Blow-Thru Space® Heaters.
