SolarWall® air heating systems produce substantial energy & economic benefits by: • Delivering huge life-cycle cost savings • Displacing 20-50% of heating fuel consumption & corresponding GHG emissions • Facilitating any level of LEED® certification by generating up to 10+ LEED® points • Improving indoor air quality • Helping clients fulfill a variety of renewable energy & CO2 displacement objectives The SolarWall technology generates significant heat savings, and has been described as “backing up to a free gas pump.” SolarWall: Reduce Your Heating Costs •• Manufacturing Buildings SolarWall® systems heat the ventilation or process air required in commercial and industrial buildings. They are building integrated and are very architecturally versatile. They can be styled, shaped, and designed in a variety of colors to augment the building envelope & generate onsite energy. •• Industrial Buildings •• Office Buildings •• Multi-Residential •• Process Drying •• Municipal Facilities •• Hospitals & Schools •• Warehouses •• Agriculture •• Military •• Airports SolarWall systems require no maintenance and generate huge amounts of thermal energy over their 30+ year lifespan, making it a superstar technology in terms of its proven economic & environmental impact. The SolarWall technology has been used globally for over 20+ years. Past clients include: Ford, Toyota, Bombardier, 3M, Owens Corning, FedEx, Auchan, Wal-Mart, NASA, U.S. Military & municipalities around the world.

Solar Air Heating Side-Mounted summer bypass HVAC System How SolarWall Systems Work SolarWall systems produce up to 60 watts/ft2 (600 watts/ m2) of thermal energy (1.5-3.5 therms/ft2 or 1.5-3.5 GJ/m2 per year). When the sun warms the surface of the collector, the heated air is drawn through thousands of tiny perforations on the surface and ducted to the existing air intake. On a sunny day this air will be heated anywhere from 30-70˚F (16-38˚C) above ambient. The solar heated air is then distributed throughout the building via the conventional ventilation system or dedicated fans and...
