Focus on Energy and Sustainability
Energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are key focus areas for Temp Right Service, Inc., a Comfort Systems USA company. Temp Right Service is leading the way in the transition to healthy, sustainable, and more energy efficient homes. Temp Right Service has designed and installed numerous heating, cooling, ventilation, and plumbing systems in homes that qualified as an ENERGY STAR® Certified Home and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Green Building Home.
Temp Right Service is an ENERGY STAR® Partner, a member of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and has a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Professional Accredited Professional (LEED® AP). We also perform energy audits and Aircuity® Monitoring.
Energy Upgrades
Temp Right Service can provide a calculated energy cost for your home’s heating and cooling system. This calculation can be performed for different types and efficiencies of heating and cooling systems, as well as different components in your home. In other words, we can calculate the energy savings for upgraded insulation, windows, doors, and other building components. We can work with you to provide a home and comfort system that is right for you.
Energy Star®
Temp Right recommends ENERGY STAR® certified equipment whenever possible. During the 2008 calendar year, Temp Right Service installed more than 860 ENERGY STAR® certified
boilers, furnaces, and split systems. The installations will result in:
• Elimination of almost 1,023,579 lbs of annual greenhouse gas emission (CO2)
• Annual electricity savings of nearly 265,622 kWh
• Annual fossil fuel savings of nearly 30,458 therms
The many benefits include:
• Significant energy savings over non-ENERGY STAR® equipment
• Lower operating costs
• Lower emissions
• Environmental stewardship
• Reduced dependency on imported fuels
U.S. Green Building Council and LEED®
In 2008, Temp Right Service completed Missoula Federal Credit Union (MFCU). MFCU received the first Missoula County LEED® Platinum Certification, which is the highest possible LEED® rating. Also in 2008, Temp Right Service completed the Jackson Contractor Group Office Building, which is also seeking LEED® certification. Temp Right is proud to lead the way in LEED® certification in Montana.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is a non-profit organization that certifies sustainable businesses, homes, hospitals,
schools, and neighborhoods. USGBC is dedicated to expanding green building practices and education, and its LEED® Green Building Rating System™.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. LEED® addresses all building types and emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies in five areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality.
LEED® Accredited Professionals (LEED® APs) have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles,
the LEED® Green Building Rating System, and the successful stewardship of the certification process. The LEED® AP program is administered by the Green Building
Certification Institute (GBCI) which was established with the support of USGBC to allow for objective, balanced management of the credentialing program.
The Aircuity® Monitor system is employed for the automated analysis of key environmental parameters in the assessment of HVAC system performance. The automated process captures key data points about the air quality from a home, performs an in-depth and expert analysis of the information, and provides result based outcomes regarding performance and identifies potential areas to be optimized within the home.
“Diligent, timely, and thorough...they are great to work with”
One of Temp Right’s major strengths is their management. They’re eager to get into a project and solve problems. We recently completed an experimental (LEED® Platinum)
project with Temp Right’s help; it was a new level of achievement for all of us.
Geothermal heat-pump systems are the fastest growing segment in the energy efficiency field. The technology, which uses the earth's underground heat to produce heating and cooling for buildings, has been around since the early 1980s, but it was too costly for most businesses until energy prices soared in recent years. Now, the monthly savings from geothermal units pay for the installation costs in a relatively short period, while reducing energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
