  Navigating the Path to Sustainable Heating: Exploring Electric vs Gas Heat in Warehouses

  In our white paper, “Electric vs Gas Heat”, we delve into the practical implications of using electric heat in place of highly efficient natural gas-fired heating equipment, with a specific focus on warehouses. As everyone embarks on a journey towards reducing their carbon footprint and embracing electrification, it is crucial to consider the practicality and limitations of electrical infrastructure capacity when implementing these changes. We begin by highlighting the advantages of natural gas heating equipment, which offers high efficiency (92%) and is particularly suitable for spaces with high heat demands, such as warehouses. The high heat content per CFM of outside air delivered by natural gas heaters results in fewer units required to meet the building's heat load, ensuring efficient and cost-effective heating. We acknowledge that some localities and states have imposed or are considering legislation and building code changes that restrict or prohibit natural gas usage. While these efforts are noble, it is important to remember that the transition to electric heat brings along practical implications and challenges associated with electrical infrastructure capacity constraints. Replacing natural gas with electric heat ...

  Heat Pumps vs. Gas-Fired: 4 Insights for Mechanical Contractors

  Choosing Between Heat Pumps and Gas-Fired Systems: 4 Things Mechanical Contractors Should Consider This blog was written by the Marketing Team and the Applications Engineering Team Choosing the right heating system for your facility is a critical decision for mechanical contractors and their clients. With ongoing conversations around energy efficiency and sustainability, heat pumps are gaining traction as a potential alternative to gas-fired technologies. But making an informed choice means understanding the trade-offs. Here are four key considerations when evaluating heat pumps versus gas-fired systems, plus an introduction to hybrid systems that blend the benefits of both. 1. Upfront Costs: Short-Term vs. Long-Term Investment Heat pumps are often celebrated for their efficiency, but they come with a higher upfront price tag compared to gas-fired systems. Contractors and their clients may find the initial investment daunting, especially when gas-fired options offer a more budget-friendly entry point. However, don’t just look at the sticker price—consider the total life cycle cost of both systems. A heat pump may offer savings over time due to reduced energy usage, but each system should be evaluated based on the ...

  The True Impact of Heat on Workforce Productivity

  How Hotter Seasons Impact Workforce Productivity and Cost Building Owners Money This blog was written by The Marketing Team & The Engineering Team As temperatures continue to rise each summer, mechanical contractors may already be aware of the impact that extreme heat can have  on comfort and building operations. But there's another critical element at play—productivity. When indoor temperatures surpass 77°F (25°C), it's not just uncomfortable; it's a hidden productivity killer that directly affects the bottom line of your clients' businesses. Let’s dive into the data to explore the real impact of temperature on productivity and how you can help your customers mitigate these effects. Study Summary: Impact of Heat Exposure on Female Brickfield Workers in India A recent study examined the effects of extreme heat on female workers in India’s brick-manufacturing units. These workers experience high seasonal temperatures for several months of the year, affecting their physical well-being and output. Key findings: Heat Exposure: Workers endure high temperatures for five months annually, with heat from brick kilns worsening the situation. Productivity Decline: For each degree increase beyond 34.9°C, productivity drops by approximately 2%. Physiological Strain: Higher ...

  Heating a Warehouse or Distribution Center

  Cambridge High Temperature Heating & Ventilation (HTHV) Space Heating Systems are designed to meet a building's heat and air load requirements and be energy efficient.  Discharge air from the S-Series HTHV Heater creates a large volume of fresh, warm air flowing throughout the building which eliminates higher ceiling temperatures and uncomfortable drafts. The S-Series Heater utilizes 100% fresh air to dilute contaminants generated within the building. This virtually eliminates air quality problems associated with infrared heaters or conventional air heating systems that recirculate indoor air. The video below highlights the technology behind our S-Series heater or you can click here for more product information.

  How Two Military Bases are Keeping Fully Operational by Investing in their Facility’s Heating and Ventilation Systems

  Camp Casey and Camp K16 are two U.S. military bases in South Korea that are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for the brave men and women who serve our country. But during the deeply cold winters, maintaining a healthy working environment for the troops can be a real challenge.   Recently, an HVAC manufacturing representative local to the base brought Cambridge Air Solutions technical experts to Camp Casey and   Camp K16 to provide training on the S-Series HTHV heating system and M- Series ventilation systems. The S-Series - is designed to maintain set point temperatures with minimal maintenance, tempers 100% outside air for clean, even heating through the large spaces.  The M-Series – designed for its flexibility in bringing make-up air to industrial applications – was ideal for the demanding environment of these military bases. The team provided on-site training at each location, ensuring that they have the knowledge and skills needed to operate the heating systems to ensure the best indoor air quality and thermal comfort for the troops. The leaders at Camp Casey and Camp K16 understand the impact the working conditions can have on the people within the various military facilities and since implementing these cutting-edge heating solutions, they can now maintain even indoor air ...
