SolarWall®: Now honored as one of the 9 best energy inventions of the past two centuries by American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The SolarWall® technology is a solar air heating system that heats building ventilation air and improves indoor air quality. SolarWall systems deliver huge life-cycle cost savings and require no maintenance over their 30+ year lifespan. They displace 20-50% of the traditional heating load & corresponding GHG emissions. The result is a superstar technology in terms of its economic & environmental impact. SolarWall systems can be used on walls or roofs for a variety of uses and applications, from solar heating buildings, to agricultural and manufacturing process drying. Architects and engineers enjoy the fact that the SolarWall technologies generate up to 10+ LEED® points and are easily integrated into the building envelope.
Indoor space heating & ventilation heating represent one of the largest usages of energy in buildings. Solar air heating systems provide a direct source reduction of GHG emissions by reducing this fossil-based energy, making it an essential component of CO2 reduction strategies. To date, Conserval has supplied & designed millions of square feet of SolarWall systems around the world; eliminating tens of thousands of tons of CO2 every year.
Conserval has been delivering solar space heating systems to an extensive client base throughout the world for over 30 years. We are the company that developed and commercialized solar air heating for commercial, industrial, institutional,military, multi-residential and agricultural applications. The technology we invented, known as "SolarWall", was praised by the U.S. Department of Energy as being in the "top two percent of energy related inventions", with a solar efficiency over 80%. As the SolarWall technology came to define the global solar air heating sector because of its efficiency and return on investment, our other new products - SolarWall® 2-Stage & SolarWall® PV/Thermal - are also shifting energy paradigms for ultra-high temperature rises & solar cogeneration systems. Conserval is regularly involved with award-winning and/or LEED® projects that use the SolarWall technologies for their exceptional attributes in the areas of solar energy & architectural versatility.
Mission Statement
Continue to be the global market leader in the renewable energy sector we created - solar air heating - for the benefit of our clients and the planet.
SolarWall® Company Profile
SolarWall Company Profile LocationsConserval Engineering has been delivering custom engineered renewable energy solutions for over 30 years. We are the company that invented and commercialized solar air heating (branded as " SolarWall") around the world. This technology was praised by the U.S. Department of Energy as being in the "top two percent of energy related inventions".
Conserval manufactures and designs SolarWall® systems for a wide variety of applications and clients around the globe. Due to the specialized nature of solar air heating, Conserval can also offer the following services in addition to designing and supplying a SolarWall system:
Consulting services on solar air heating and PV/Thermal;
Feasibility studies to evaluate potential sites and applications for their solar air heating suitability;
SolarWall monitoring
Project management
To date, Conserval has supplied and designed millions of square feet of SolarWall systems in over 33 countries. This means that SolarWall systems are reducing tens of thousands of tons of CO2 each and every year.
Conserval’s unparalleled experience in solar air heating, in terms of everything from system design to the manufacturing of the technology, has allowed the company to perfect an energy solution that has the fastest solar payback available in the commercial and industrial market. This is verified by extensive field usage, monitoring reports, and an independent feasibility analysis tool called RETScreen.Conserval participated in the creation of RETScreen, and the module for solar air heaters was based on the SolarWall transpired collector.
Just as the SolarWall technology came to define the global solar air heating sector, due to its high efficiency and rapid return on investment, the new SolarWall PV/Thermal system also promises to shift the technological paradigm in terms of solar cogeneration systems.
Since its inception in 1977, Conserval’s approach has been focused on cost effective turnkey projects to save energy for commercial and industrial clients. During the 1980’s, the company focused on large building integrated solar heating projects with an increasing emphasis on developing solutions using proprietary technology.
Conserval Engineering has been the market leader in solar air heating technology for the commercial and industrial sector with their invention of the transpired solar collector (known as “SolarWall”), and has been the driving force for having it recognized at a governmental level as a class of "solar thermal" technology.
Similarly, Conserval is also a leader in hybrid PV/Thermal systems, turning the problem of “excess PV heat” into a marketable solution by utilizing the heat energy and improving the PV efficiency through solar cogeneration.
Past clients include private and public sector organizations like the U.S. Army, Canadian Government, Toyota, NASA, Ford, FedEx, Owens Corning, Wal-Mart and 3M as well as over 2000+ other customers in the commercial, industrial, institutional and agricultural sectors.
Conserval has established The SolarWall Foundation, a Canadian solar charity, to support Conserval’s vision of incorporating solar heating on schools and non-profit buildings to enable children and others to experience and learn about the benefits of solar energy.
The Conserval group of companies and representatives span the USA, Canada, Asia and Europe with projects as far away as the South Pole.
We are proud members of: the Canadian Solar Industries Association ( CanSIA), the Solar Energy Industries Association ( SEIA), and the Solar Air Heating World Industries Association ( SAHWIA).
