The Problem
• Steam heated buildings waste enormous amounts of
money through overheating
• In NYC alone, 75% of buildings are heated by steam
• Heating represents approximately 30% of a building's
energy cost
The US Department of Energy estimates about 30% of the heat is
wasted, translating into $7 billion in annual waste in the US alone
