Transformative Wave Expands Capacity for Its HVAC Retrofit Solution
Facility expansion enables scalability in production
KENT, Wash. — Transformative Wave announced that it has expanded its production capacity to meet increased demand for its CATALYST product, a HVAC energy efficiency retrofit solution for existing constant volume rooftop units (RTUs). With CATALYST installations in 34 of the 50 states, as well as two Canadian provinces, the company estimates the solution is saving almost 35 million kWh a year, with energy cost savings in excess of $4 million annually for its customers.
Transformative Wave has increased the size of its production facility by more than two-and-a-half times, from 3,000 square feet to 8,000. The expanded space has made room for five, 32-foot programming/quality control benches. This allows the staff to have dozens of units simultaneously powered up for programming and quality assurance testing. Overall, Transformative Wave’s ability to build and program CATALYST kits has multiplied by a factor of eight with this improvement in its operations.
