While electrified systems that produce zero carbon are a long-term goal for some, the reality is that leaders will need make decisions for their facilities long before that goal will be achievable. Finding partners and technology that require less carbon, especially for large, high-bay facilities is instrumental to helping these leaders along that path.

The Cambridge M-Series make-up air unit is a 100% outside air direct-fired, tempered ventilation system that provides the most energy efficient solution to offset building exhaust. It is designed to be durable and reliable, with lower maintenance costs. It works by tempering 100% outside air, creating a consistently comfortable and well-ventilated facility, resolving the uneven temperatures caused by the exhaust process.

In this video produced for ASHRAE Journal, our Director of Engineering Dave Binz showcases the ESC-Series two-stage evaporative cooling unit installed in our facility in Chesterfield, MO.

As a manufacturer of industrial HVAC equipment, we know quite a bit about the problems that poor indoor air quality within your facility can have on your employees during hot summer months. Trying to achieve temperature relief within your facility when it is 100° F outside, and even hotter inside, requires more than opening your dock doors and pulling hot air through your facility while running HVLS fans. For most facilities, including ours, the equipment that is running inside the facility provides additional heat gain that can drive indoor temperatures well above the 100° F outside air temperature. When this happens within the facility your productivity, quality and even safety may be affected. Your ability to retain quality employees can suffer as well as your ability to hire new talent can be difficult as well.

Our Director of Engineering Dave Binz describes how the Cambridge team approaches an industrial retrofit process, and the best way to get started getting answers about your project.

We, at Cambridge are frequently involved with heating “spec” buildings. You know how it goes: a developer puts up the shell, pours the concrete slab, heats the building to a minimum temperature the closes it up with no plans for ventilation. At some point in the future, the developer signs up a tenant and proceeds with the tenant fit-out. That is where our story begins.
