The Toronto Construction Association and Construct Canada 2007 Committee announced today that EnerWorks' new Solar Energy Unit (SEU) for commercial and industrial solar thermal applications has been awarded the Temple W. Harris Innovative Product and Technology Award (TIPTA). The award recognizes EnerWorks for the development of an innovative product which simplifies the engineering and contract work required for its installation. The turn-key, modular design of the SEU means that solar thermal systems do not have to be re-invented for each project, assembling components from a variety of sources. The benefits of the SEU have contributed to EnerWorks' success in working with such high profile institutions as The Toronto Hospital for Sick Children, Green Phoenix's Phoenix Place apartment housing complex, and Confederation Inn in Saskatoon.


Florin Plavosin, Product Engineering Manager at EnerWorks, led the development of the SEU. "The Solar Energy Unit contains a complete solar heat exchange system in a compact housing," he says. "It includes an integrated pump, heat exchanger, and an intelligent control system that ensures reliable performance. It forms an integral part of our total solutions approach to meeting our customers' needs."

The SEU is preassembled and factory-tested to facilitate a quick, turn-key installation. Its multi-speed pumps and Programmable Logic Controller enable customization of the SEU to optimize performance for site conditions and ensure cost-effective operation.

EnerWorks designs and manufactures solar heating equipment and solar collectors for commercial, industrial and residential use. The SEU, available in three sizes, supports 40 to 300 kW, or 20 to 120 solar collectors, and is used to provide solar water heating solutions in applications such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, hotels, multi-family and institutional accommodation, community centers, boiler make-up water, industrial processes and commercial operations. Larger systems are built with multiple SEUs.

Now in its 14th year, the TIPTA award encourages and recognizes excellence in innovation in a person(s)' or company's development of new technology for the building and construction market.

The award was presented at the Toronto Construction Association's Christmas luncheon.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
