result in short payback periods through
identified cost savings.
In October 2023, one of the measures
implemented was the addition of 20
gallons of EndoTherm to the boiler system.
EndoTherm reduces the surface tension
of the boiler water which increases the
rate of heat transfer. The treatment
reduces the amount of energy required
to achieve room temperature in the
building. EndoTherm is non-corrosive and
is composed of 100% organic material.
