Cambridge plant retrofit project wins
"Best Practices
ENERGY Award"
From Steam to Green is an expanded version of an article titled "Reduce Space Heating Energy Consumption" that was published in the February 2008 issue of Plant Services Magazine. It documents a steam boiler retrofit where Cambridge helped a company save enough energy and maintenance costs to pay for a new "greener" heating system. The new direct gas-fired heaters also improved ventilation for the plant, solved their negative air problem and provided increased employee comfort levels. CO2 greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 393 tons/year, the equivalent of taking 72 cars off the road or planting 11,800 trees over a 10 year period. Read More...

The Kansas City Business Journal published a 2008 article describing the traits that make warehouse and distribution space more desirable. It notes the trend that distribution facilities are on the average growing larger. Companies are looking for bigger and more efficient distribution space. A list of 10 desirable traits in distribution space that commercial real estate companies consider includes more efficient heating and in particular, Cambridge Engineering warehouse heating systems. The Business Journal is quoted as saying, “Through-the-wall heating systems, such as those designed by Cambridge Engineering, are more efficient and save clear space compared with the overhead, gas-fired heaters common in industrial buildings.” Visit www.bizjournals.com for a reprint of this article.

Energy Stewardship means reducing the energy a building consumes to provide a safe and productive environment. This "Expanding Your Business" magazine article explains why Energy Stewardship does not need to come at a premium. Using Cambridge direct gas-fired heating equipment is one way to save energy, reduce air pollution and increase profits while doing it. For a 50,000 sq. ft. facility in Chicago, Cambridge Heaters can reduce energy usage by 50% and prevent 44 tons of greenhouse gases (CO2) from going into the atmosphere each year. That's the same as saving $75,000 in energy costs and planting 1320 trees over a 10 year period. Read more...

Save Energy and Improve Indoor Air Quality for LEED Projects is the topic of
this article published in the October 2006 issue of MCN Magazine. It was
co-authored by Cambridge Engineering and Vertegy. Direct gas-fired,
Blow-Thru® Space Heaters are an excellent choice for LEED Certified, Green
Building Projects because they are both very energy efficient and help
improve indoor air quality. Five of seven prerequisites and 30 of 69
available LEED points are found in these two LEED categories. Cambridge Engineering is an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Warehouse Heating/Ventilating: When Energy Matters
That's the headline for an article published in the March 2004 issue of 3PL Executive Magazine. This is the official publication of the International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA). The article is a good overview of the factors to consider when selecting the best, and most energy efficient heating equipment for warehouses and distribution centers. It includes a summary of the seven types of gas-fired heating systems that use either indirect or direct gas-fired technologies. When "Energy Matters", an efficient Blow-Thru®, direct gas-fired space heating system (like the Cambridge S-Series Space Heater) is recommended as the best choice for a large warehouse or distribution center.
