YOU will save?
We have built a sophisticated spread sheet, covering weather conditions, utility costs, performance indicators, hours of work and cooling requirements which directly compares the cost of using traditional air conditioning to cool a building with the cost of using evaporative cooling. This allows us to work out exactly the size of loan which can be applied for.
