If selected we may wish to add an additional speaker. We could invite the Energy Manager from the Coquitlam School District to share their case study results.
Presentation Description:
Utility bills are a significant part of any building’s operational costs. Now water treaters can help clients lower heating and cooling costs up to 15%. Non-ionic surfactant additives for hydronic HVAC systems are the easiest and most affordable way to lower boiler or chiller energy consumption up to 15%. Dosed at 1:100, these surfactants improve heat transfer resulting in reduced run-times and great efficiency in boilers, chillers, heat pumps and geothermal systems. The energy savings typically pay back the installation costs within the first two years and will provide more than a 400% return on investment over the first ten years. Pace has spent the last five years bringing development and verifying an additive called EndoTherm. After hundreds of verified case studies and thousands of installations, EndoTherm now has a rebate from FortisBC, British Columbia’s largest natural gas utility.EndoTherm is proven to be less corrosive than water, compatible with traditional water treatment chemistries and long lasting. It requires no downtime, setpoint changes or equipment for clients to realize significant energy savings. During the presentation we will share several verified case studies results from several types of clients and buildings.
