CASE STUDY: Duke Construction used Air Energy “The Rack” ER systems to increase tenant comfort level in the space and reduce energy costs.

Duke Construction wanted the design HVAC contractor to explore new ways to upgrade the low heating efficiencies of standard unit heaters and the constant moving of these heaters in their Type 2 spec buildings.

PROBLEM: Older unit heaters were not providing the comfort level required by tenants for their employees.

PROBLEM: Older unit heaters were not providing the comfort level required by tenants for their employees.

PROBLEM: On their Type 2 buildings, Duke had always used unit heaters in their spaces for heating. As a heating system, unit heaters were not only not economical to operate; they were not providing the comfort level required by their tenants for their employees.

SOLUTION: By putting The Rack™ ER systems in the corners, they eliminated any future need to move the systems regardless of how the building space was subdivided. Along with not moving the systems, they increased the comfort level in the space and reduced the energy costs to the tenants.  View additional “The Rack” case studies here.

In this economy – energy efficient, quality built, and affordable ventilation and air distribution products are critical to keeping building temperatures consistent and energy costs low.  Duke Construction knows about cost saving The Rack™ ER Units – and now you do too.

Air Energy’s The Rack™ energy rotation systems save businesses thousands of dollars in energy savings and thousands more in rebates.

Check out a few impressive examples below:

Vectren offers a Custom Incentive Rebate Program in all of their service areas around the state. This program offers up to $1.00/therm for projects saving more than 25,000 therms,
$.75/therm for projects between 7,500-24,999 therms and a maximum payout amount of $50,000 per project. Air Energy System’s Rack Unit is the only technology that received the maximum rebate on multiple projects.  
Allpoints #6 (950,000’) installed (8) ER-242-800 Rack Units and (2) Rupp Ram 30 MAU, this system saved the owner 93,196 therms compared to a traditional heating system. This savings resulted in a $50,000 check to the owner.

 

*This program is run by CleaResult

Citizens Energy Group offers a Custom Rebate Program in their service area, Marion Country. Project payouts are $0.75 for savings under 7,500 therms and $1.00 for saving over 7,500 therms. The max payout increased 30% to $35,000 rebate amount. The Rack Unit received over 70% of all the Natural Gas Custom Rebates for Citizens and Vectren in 2014.
Prologis (96,000’) installed (3) ER-242-800 Rack Units with (2) Fresh Air Intake Kit. Fresh air is brought into the facility through The Rack Unit to meet ASHRAE 62.1 indoor air quality standards. This system was also designed to provide (2) Air Changes per hour for summer ventilation. Citizens Energy Group issued an $11,923 rebate incentive check to Prologis.

Air Energy Systems (AES) recently completed improvements to its Indianapolis head office location.

Old carpet was removed exposing 100+ year old oak flooring which was then sanded and finished. New paint and fixtures were added to make the workspace both functional and attractive.

A little history… the AES building was built some time around 1880. During the 1970’s a private company purchased the building and converted the entire building into office and warehouse space. Air Energy Systems purchased the building in 1994.

Improvements were managed by longtime New Augusta resident James Warriner. Much thanks also goes to Dotty Maher for planning and overseeing the improvements. Collin Maher (AES Sales) also lent his tremendous energy and talent to the project.

Case Study:
Customer: Honda of Indiana
Location: Greensburg, Indiana

Project Challenge:
Honda’s original heating/cooling design used direct fired equipment incorporated with cooling coils and sheet metal distribution ducting.  The warehouse continually exceeded their budget for temperature control and considered eliminating the cooling function all together.

Air Energy System’s (The Rack™) Solution:
AES recommended installing eight 60-ton ground mounted gas/electric rooftop units along with eight (The Rack™) ER-248 ceiling hung air rotation units into the facility.    The equipment design increased the air distribution from 192,000 cfm to 400,000 cfm.

Results:
By installing (8) 60-ton ground mounted rooftop units with (8) ER-248 The Rack™ air turn-over units, Honda experienced the following results:

  • Honda was able to eliminate their costly sheet metal distribution ducting
  • Honda experienced a $500,000 cost savings
  • Honda warehouse has less than a 2-3° temperature difference anywhere in the facility.

Honda liked the operation of “The Rack™” ER units so well – they installed the same ER units in their next facility located in Sidney, OH – and success breeds more success – as Honda is also installing even more “The Rack™” ER Units in another warehouse facility planned for 2014!

In this economy – energy efficient, quality built, and affordable ventilation and air distribution products are critical to keeping building temperatures consistent and energy costs low.   Honda knows about cost saving “The Rack™” ER Units …and now you do too.
