Schools, Colleges and Universities

Education is one of the most successful and popular markets for ENERVEX's demand-controlled mechanical draft systems. Decentralization of outdated boiler plants, ahve created a large number of applications with multiple, small boilers in challenging venting applications. Depending on the type of facility, schools and colleges face some of the same challenges as hotels and resorts and office buildings. Schools are primarily occupied during the day so the demand for heating, hot water, and bathroom exhaust and ventilation varies substantially during the day. Colleges with dormatories operate more like resorts, where the hot water consumption varies with the time of day and the use of laundry facilities with the time of week.

The large presence of low to mid-efficiency heating appliances in the segment, makes ENERVEX's Economizer systems very attractive.

ENERVEX has decades of experience here and has a proven track-record. Installations include high profile schools and colleges such as Santa Clara University (Santa Clara, CA), Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA), Marshall University (Huntington, WV), Hazen High School (Renton, WA) - just to mention a few.

The most popular systems used in schools and colleges are: 

•	Demand-Controlled Mechanical Draft System for boilers and water heaters. Assures proper draft and highest possible combustion efficiency. Reduces space requirements while saving cost.
•	Demand-Controlled Combustion Air-supply System for mechanical rooms with boilers, water heaters or clothes dryers. Eliminates gravity louvers.
•	Demand-Controlled Building Exhaust System System for multi-story clothes dryers and bathrooms. Assures proper exhaust rates at any time no matter the demand. Can reduce exhaust rate of conditioned air of up to 60-70%.
•	Demand-Controlled Dryer Venting System for central laundry facilities and their clothes dryers. Assures proper exhaust rates at any time no matter the demand. Can reduce exhaust rate of conditioned air dramatically.

ENERVEX has always been successful in demonstrating payback to customers with the savings generated from heating efficiency gains, reduced exhaust rates of conditioned air, decreased electrical consumption, and low maintenance requirements.
