Shannon Helps Albany Medical Center Insulate District System, Save Energy
Engineered and installed custom-fit, reusable blankets
NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. — Shannon Enterprises of W.N.Y. Inc. has supplied Albany Medical Center’s district heating system with a self-contained insulation system.
Initially, the medical center purchased reusable blankets as part of a pilot project for steam components within a single mechanical room. The energy savings from these blankets spurred the center’s facilities engineering department to request an energy survey for the district system. Shannon’s energy survey team calculated that Albany Medical Center would save 9.8 billion Btus per year by installing custom-fit reusable blankets across the medical center’s district heating system.
