Greening RTU's: Aaon High Efficiency Units

Today's codes and customers are demanding higher and higher efficiencies from their units. And Aaon has been continually improving their product offering to stay one step ahead of the curve. Not only do they offer energy-saving features like heat recovery, foam core panel construction, digital scrolls and the best RTU economizers on the market, but they also offer industry-leading cooling efficiencies.



To help customers select the unit that is right for their project, Aaon has created this quick select guide that shows the available efficiency levels of their RTU products (Energy Star, ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 189, CEE Tier 1 or CEE Tier II) for all of their units from 2 tons to 70 tons.

Greg Nickels vows to DOUBLE Seattle Conservation Programs

A recent article in the Seattle times indicates that the City of Seattle is getting serious about conservation:

Overlooking the Seahawks' field, Seattle City Light officials and Mayor Greg Nickels announced a $185 million plan Wednesday to double the city's energy conservation over five years -- an amount equal to the annual energy use of 180,000 Seattle homes.

The program, which targets residential and commercial electricity use, could save customers $310 million over that time.

"We are putting our conservation program on steroids," Nickels said.

The plan is available online at http://www.seattle.gov/light/conserve/docs/Conservation_5_Year_Action_Plan.pdf, and focuses on Lighting, HVAC, Industrial Processes and Data Centers.
