Commercial Solar Air Heating
Our Solar Air Heating Projects - Kansas City Area
A Solar Air Heating system (a series of wall panels mounted on a south wall), is used to pre-heat the outside air before it enters the building. This provides fresh air and natural humidification, as well as opportunities to reduce energy consumption. The wall panel is mounted at a specified distance of several inches from the outer wall of the building. The solar generated pre-heated air transpires into the wall cavity and is drawn into the building's interior through conventional ductwork, thus heating your building with the free energy of the sun!
Will Solar Air Heating work for you?
- Do you have large ventilation requirements?
- Do you have a long heating season?
- Are your utility rates for heating high?
- Does your facility feature an appropriate south, southeast, or southwest oriented wall?
- Does your facility utilize heated air for processes (such as crop drying)?
The Benefits of Solar Air Heating include:
- Reduces annual energy consumption and cost
- Cost effective way to meet code requirements for ventilation
- Improved air quality (increased air changes)
- Virtually maintenance free
- Favorable environmental impact
- Potential for LEED credit
- Favorable investment incentives
- Financial Benefits of Solar Air Heating
- Reduces annual heating costs by $2 to $4 per sq. ft. of collector, depending on fuel replaced
- Simple payback of 3 to 8 years
There are many options to consider and this can be a challenging task. We simplify this task through our Commercial Solar Air Heating Site Survey Assessment Process.
Determining if this is a viable option:
- We conduct a Commercial Solar Air Heating Site Survey Assessment
- Your business and environmental objectives are reviewed
- Review the last 12 – 24 month of your heating bills
- We evaluate the physical and structural characteristic of the South facing area or your building for energy producing opportunities
- Determine the best application of Solar Air Heating to address your requirements with a system design and cost estimate.
- Develop an energy model that projects energy production over the life of the system.
- Develop a financial benefits model that describes the projected business benefits of the proposed approach.
- Produce all engineering documents required for permitting and installation.
Implementation
We offer the expertise, technology, equipment and services to deliver the best solution for your organization. As a fully licensed contractor, we execute the entire installation process to ensure the system is installed and will perform according to the design.
