Sustainable Heating, Cooling and Water Heating Solutions

Sustainable heating, cooling and water heating solutions - Rheem Manufacturing
November 1, 2019

Over the last few decades, there have been quite a few false starts and failed experiments around the “green” building movement. As a contractor, you had a right to be skeptical. But today, you are likely excited and motivated to realize the environmental, health and cost benefits of green commercial construction.

Green buildings save 40-50% in energy costs while reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.1

 

A Healthier Living and Working Environment

“Sick building syndrome” lawsuits have cost owners millions of dollars and can often be traced back to inefficient HVAC systems. If left running, these systems accumulate condensation that allows unhealthy mold spores to develop. Energy-efficient green building solutions can automatically turn HVAC systems on or off in order to maintain the correct temperature and humidity for optimum health and comfort.

Rheem Sustainable Initiatives

Rheem is working with people like you to stay ahead of the green technology curve by helping build in long-term value with innovative energy-efficiency heating and cooling systems. For example, HVAC and water systems play a central role in LEED-certified construction. Specifically, a building’s heating and cooling equipment must be designed and installed to be as efficient as possible.

Heating and cooling systems can account for 25% of construction budgets and 43% of operating budgets.2

By choosing the most energy-efficient, performance-proven heating, cooling and water solutions available, you are playing a key role in maintaining the sustainability standards of the buildings you are constructing.

  • Energy Savings -The more hot water you use while the air conditioner is operating, the faster the payback-typically less than two years.4
  • Improved Efficiency -The water-heating process is more efficient due to excess heat capture during cooling.
  • Innovative Technology -eSync Integration Technology automatically switches modes whenever there is an opportunity to pre-heat water.
  • Remote Monitoring -You can check on one system or multiple systems from any mobile device to ensure everything’s functioning properly and, if not, take actions.
