Custom Application Program (CAP)

Including energy efficient technologies during early design stages is the most cost-effective way to ensure ongoing savings and environmental benefits. Designing more energy efficient buildings for commercial, institutional or multi-family use will result from adding natural gas efficiency measures to a new building design or as part of a major Retrofit.

A single measure such as heat recovery can be considered a “custom” project since there may be multiple factors that are specific to that project and may not be replicable to other applications or locations.  It could also combine multiple measures of varying sizes and applications, thereby also qualifying as a “custom” project.

Any heat recovery measure helps you make informed business decisions by identifying and quantifying heat recover opportunities and associated savings. Heat recovery involves extracting heat from flue gases, from wastewater or from waste steam. This generally relies on an audit to identify site specific heat recovery opportunities, which could be as basic as a walkthrough audit by an Energy Management firm. They can also provide expert advice during the feasibility study and development of an implementation plan based on the results of the audit.

To see which measures might be right for your business contact your local Design Engineering firm or HVAC Contractor or contact your local Union Gas Account Manager for additional information.
