Regional YMCAs Go Green with Sure Temp's Help

Renovations on YMCA facilities in Binghamton and Johnson Citywill help the organization meet its goal of reducing its carbon footprint - and they'll save money doing it.

Sure Temp worked alongside SunMaxx Solar and Eastern Energy Solutions to complete the installation of solar tubes for domestic hot water.

Three hundred tubes sit atop the Binghamton building. They will harness the sun's energy to heat water at the facility. We estimate that the system will be capable of heating some 218,000 gallons of water annually.

Total renovations included new lighting, heating and ventilation systems. The facilities may save as much as 48 percent on energy bills, as a result of the improvements.

We applaud businesses and organizations that act as examples of good environmental stewardship for the rest of the community.
