MONTREAL, Feb. 23, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSXV: SDW) -
Sofame's Montreal-based
distributor, Enviroair, has expanded its marketing reach into
Canada's maritime provinces.
Enviroair Industries Inc. has opened an office in Halifax after launching its heating division
in June 2014. Enviroair's
experts in five divisions - Ventilation, Hydronic, Heating,
Renewable Energy and VRV (variable refrigerant volume) – take pride
in quickly bringing customers innovative solutions in both an
effective and eco-friendly manner. Enviroair is present at the time
of design, during installation with trained technicians, and at the
time of service, through its parts department which supplies the
information operators need 24 hours a day.
For example, when Enviroair met with HH Angus, consulting
engineers for Montreal's
$2 billion CHUM super hospital, to
discuss how best to maximize heating efficiency while ensuring the
lowest possible energy costs, they recommended the Sofame
Percotherm® direct-contact stack economizer, which is used by
numerous other hospitals in North
America to achieve 98% heating efficiency.
The Percotherm® direct-contact stack economizer, designed and
manufactured by Montreal-based
Sofame Technologies Inc., recuperates the residual heat contained
in boiler and turbine flue gases, and transfers it to cool water
streams. Hot water is produced at temperatures as high as 140
degrees F (60 degrees C). The Sofame system fully conforms to
new boiler efficiency guidelines established by the American
Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers in
the ASHRAE report titled "Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large
Hospitals" published in 2012. HH Angus is targeting LEED
Silver certification for CHUM's new hospital complex.
According to John Gocek,
President of Sofame, "Sofame is currently re-examining its market
presence across Canada. Industrial and institutional
customers are increasingly searching for solutions which reduce
fuel costs and directly reduce emissions. Sofame's
competitiveness and success depend on the ability of sales partners
to effectively present Sofame engineering solutions, assist
customers to evaluate installation costs, and then provide parts,
service and support. Enviroair has been a strong partner to
Sofame in eastern Ontario,
Quebec, and now the
Maritimes. We are pleased to support Enviroair's business
plan."
