Industrial Solar Air Heating Projects
Thermal heating accounts for over 30% of the CO2 emissions in Canada, making it one of our largest single sources of GHG. In April 2014, BEAM Engineering, a Boston based energy consulting firm, corroborated what we already know that, “…solar (air) heating is the most efficient renewable technology for generating thermal heat and costs are as low as $0.06 USD/kWh…” Suffice it to say, our solar air heating systems very cost effectively preheat ventilation and make-up air and air used in industrial processes, which also happens to be the largest – but typically overlooked - usage of energy in our northern climate.
