Although Infinite R will immediately start absorbing the surrounding heat wherever you put it, one of its most successful applications is in ceilings and walls.
In commercial buildings such as schools, retail, industrial or office buildings, placing Infinite R in the ceiling is the easiest and most efficient way to maintain a comfortable room temperature and save money. In drop tile ceilings, the panels can simply be moved aside and Infinite R placed directly on top of the T-bar ceiling grids or stapled to the underside of roofs on exposed ceilings. In new construction, Infinite R can be placed above the appropriate tile or hard lid ceilings or walls. Since Infinite R absorbs 1000 Btu/sq ft, in a large office or school, this equates to savings to hundreds of thousands of Btu, daily.
Cost savings from Infinite R PCM
For example, a U-haul facility in Phoenix, AZ recently installed 1200 sq ft of Infinite R on top of their required just two people, took six hours, and the results were amazing! Using eGauge Energy Loggers with MagnaLab current transducers to record HVAC system usage, as well as temperature data in the ceiling, Infinite R proved an impressive savings tool. With no adjustments to thermostatic controls, Infinite R reduced energy usage by 26% and created first year cost of savings of $1,280 with a payback period of 2.3 years. This also yielded a twenty-year net present value of $16,319 with a 43% internal rate of return. They also estimated that with thermostatic controls adjusted in order to optimize PCM performance, the reduction in energy use by 36% would result in first year savings of $1,647; paybacks in just 1.8 years. This would also produce a twenty-year net present value of $21,858 with a 55% internal rate of return. These results show that Infinite R is incredibly effective and has the potential to save your business thousands of dollars!

With California's recent revisions to Title 24 stating that all commercial buildings must be zero net energy by 2030, it's crucial that we start making our buildings more efficient. By reducing HVAC system usage, Infinite R brings your building one step closer to reaching net zero!
