How do you take a Structural Insulated Panel or SIP ( panel shown in first picture) which can handle a 200 mph wind and can be turned into a 6,200 square foot replica of an Antibellum home. This is the new Office Bldg. for one of the oldest Tug Boat Operators in Southern Louisiana Bisso Towboat Co., Inc. For 200 mph you will need to use the 6" Ocean Safe SIP panel, a lot of steel studs and steel joists, you then must hire Comfort Engineered Systems, Inc to design the HVAC system to match this outstanding building to low energy needs and the HVAC systems. Because of the great insulation quality of the SIP panel with zero thermal bridging to deal do to the fact there is no framing lumber to bridge all that heat into the structure. So with our hot humid summers and because the SIP panel eliminates all that heat transferring through the lumber we are able to cool and heat this 6,200 sq ft. office building with only 6.5 tons. All the other Mechanical Engineers wanted to cool and heat this office bldg using 25 Tons. If you do not believe us ask Bisso TowBoat Co., Inc.

This is a wonderful example of Team work and believing that Engineering the project from the beginning is important. We completed all of the HVAC Engineering before a single trade set foot on site.

Once again Comfort Engineered Systems, Inc. as proven to be leader in the HVAC and Renewable Energy market.

Save Energy on Heating and CoolingBy Following these Simple StepsChange Your Air Filter RegularlyContaminates and material that is being removed from your indoor air is collect in the filters.  A dirty filter increases the energy needed to deliver warmth or cooling throughout your home or business.  It also becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and many known pathogens.  Thus replacing filters regularly not only promotes better indoor air quality (IAQ) but also saves energy and increases the life expectancy of your complete Mechanical System.  

Check your Air Filter monthly and replace every 3 months regardless of visual cleanliness.  Comfort Engineered Systems offers worry free filter replacement scheduling through Southeast Louisiana.  Call us today to join our Customer Network and never worry about filter replacement or system cleaning again.Service and Clean your HVAC equipment AnnuallyBy simply cleaning the heating and cooling coils on your HVAC equipment you can increase the energy efficiency of your system dramatically.  Keeping the system clean not only increases energy savings but also increases service life of the equipment.
