"The jacket designed by Thermaxx Jackets for the DA tank has made it so much cooler in the area already." Bill Johnson Energy Management, American University
American University (AU) is a leader in the education sector, both in Washington, DC, and worldwide. In 2011, AU was awarded the Gold rating (the highest) by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). They were also ranked #2 on The Sierra Club’s 2014 list of “Top 10 Greenest Colleges.” So, it was an easy choice for them to partner with Thermaxx and the DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU) to improve energy efficiency even further on campus.
American University called upon insulation and smart monitoring specialist, Thermaxx to install custom-made, removable insulation jackets, to prevent the loss of heat from HVAC components, including boilers, tanks, and steam traps. As a result of this insulation system, the University’s boiler room is operating more efficiently, with less waste heat, a lower ambient temperature, and reduced energy costs. Even better, Americans should see a return on their energy-saving investment in just over a year!
