The company said that 70% of all energy used in commercial buildings and homes are spent by heating or cooling space, and heating hot water, according to statistics from the US Department of Energy,.
Solar thermal is the most efficient and effective alternative energy source for meeting this need as the energy from the sun is utilized in its native state (heat), with no conversion to another form of power, according to the company.
By avoiding the inefficiency introduced by the conversion of energy from one state to another, ASE’s Solar Thermal Energy systems are five times more efficient than solar photo voltaic systems, which will generate 820W of energy per square meter of solar array deployed.
In a remediation/restoration situation, after a fire, flood or other disaster, the heating and cooling systems are impaired or destroyed.
