SUSTAINABILITY
Making a difference to move the industry to greater sustainability.
Greenheck continues to take an industry-wide leadership position to affect positive global sustainability. We believe that providing technical education on products we offer contributes to reducing energy consumption and improving healthier indoor environments. The products we manufacture are used in buildings to:
• Create Human Comfort
• Improve Human Productivity
• Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
• Create Human Safety
• Protect Human Life
• Reduce Energy Consumption
Greenheck offers the following educational events to increase knowledge of efficient HVAC products and their application:
• Online courses
• Mobile Learning Center events

As a manufacturer of efficient air movement, control, and conditioning products, we recognize that our products’ high efficiency can be compromised due to improper application / installation. To minimize or mitigate these occurrences, Greenheck has incorporated a system effect calculator in our eCAPS toolbox. This calculator allows the user understanding to avoid incorrectly applying products; how poor installations affect performance, ensuring high operational efficiency and low energy consumption.
