The Challenge

Existing inefficient heating system consuming large quantities of natural gas and causing significant temperature stratification between floor and ceiling driving stack effect.

The Solution

NEC’s solution was to replace the Unit Heater System currently in use, with energy efficient Direct-fired Blow-thru Space Heaters from Cambridge Engineering. The Direct-fired Blow-thru Space Heater uses 100% outdoor air improving indoor air quality.

It also provides high velocity discharge air eliminating higher ceiling temperatures and uncomfortable drafts nearly eliminating infiltration due to stack effect.
