Energy can be harvested from the sun, earth, air or water
making it an attractive solution for heating or cooling systems.
To ensure comfort, alternative energy systems are commonly
designed with a backup heat source.
A truly green system makes use of the higher effi ciency
sources fi rst, saving the backup for times of higher energy
demands or when alternative energy solutions lose their
effi ciency advantage.
With tekmar Controls, the entire system can be coordinated
to seamlessly work together, improving system effi ciency,
reliability & energy savings to get the best performance out
of alternative energy sources.
Alternative Energy with
Maximum Efficiency
The Perfect Match for Radiant Heating
Fuel & electricity prices are on
the rise. There’s never been a
better time to explore alternative
sources of energy for heating
homes & generating hot water
With an energy output of up to 4 times the energy input, it’s
easy to understand why heat pumps are an increasingly
popular alternative energy source. To make the most out of
this free energy, air-to-water & water-to-water heat pumps
need to operate at low temperatures. These temperatures
are perfect for radiant heating systems.
tekmar controls with Outdoor Temperature Reset &
Indoor Temperature Feedback are designed to provide
comfort using the lowest possible water temperatures.
Energy is saved by obtaining the maximum output from
alternative energy sources before operating a backup
heat source.
