Wilo USA Pumps Help Chatham University Eden Hall Achieve Sustainable Living

Chatham University's Eden Hall Campus, an internationally recognized leader in sustainability, is the first in the world built from the ground up for the study of sustainable living, learning and development and using the latest in environmentally responsible technology, design and innovation. Eden Hall, designed to accommodate 1,500 students, is self-sustaining in every way by producing zero carbon emissions and more energy than it consumes.

"We congratulate Chatham University and its pioneering efforts, the first in the world from the ground up for the study of sustainability, to minimize energy consumption throughout the campus for their 'zero energy' project," says Matthew Beasley, director of sales for Wilo USA. "W are proud to be a part of this ground breaking endeavor with our adjustable energy-saving Wilo Stratos Class A pumps with EC motors."

"Pumps often go unnoticed in the pursuit of energy savings, using high-efficiency pumps like Wilo's can yield energy-savings of 80% or more. Important when you realize pumps can account for 20% or more of a building's electrical energy usage," says Beasley.

"Furthermore, our Energy Solutions Division can help colleges like Chatham save energy by providing energy assessments, utility rebates, incentive services, life cycle cost analysis, ROI, and remote monitoring and service contracts. We back up our confidence in our pumps with an industry-leading four-year warranty," concludes Beasley.
