Warehouse and Industrial HVAC Upgrades in New Jersey
New Jersey's position on the port and the turnpike corridor means an enormous amount of warehouse and distribution space, much of it heated by equipment installed decades ago and sized for a building that was used differently then.

What is the main opportunity in a warehouse?
Heating. Conditioning a very large volume with old gas-fired unit heaters or make-up air units is where nearly all the energy goes, and it is where the savings are.
Destratification matters here in a way it does not in other buildings. Heat collects at the ceiling of a high-bay space and never reaches the floor where people work, so the system runs longer to satisfy a thermostat at head height. Addressing that alongside the equipment changes the numbers considerably.
What about buildings with conditioned office space attached?
Almost all of them have it, and the office portion usually runs separate rooftop equipment that is assessed as part of the same project.
Does cold storage change the picture?
Substantially. Refrigerated space is a different and much larger electrical load, and it is assessed separately from the comfort heating.
Common questions
Can work happen during operating hours?
Usually, since most of it is high-level work above the operating floor. Sequencing is agreed with site management.
Do you work with 3PL operators and tenants?
The applicant is normally whoever holds the utility account, which varies by lease structure. We work that out early.
Is there an incentive for controls alone?
Controls and destratification are typically assessed as part of a wider equipment project rather than on their own.
