We're thrilled to share the success of our recent dairy retrofit project! In collaboration with Bonneville Power Administration's Emerging Technology Department and Washington State University Energy Program, Ecotope's Evan Green designed and coordinated installation of an American made water-to-water heat pump (WWHP) system that has significantly reduced carbon emissions at an Idaho dairy. By simultaneously cooling milk and heating sanitary rinse water, the WWHP system nearly eliminates the dairy's propane usage, which saves the dairy money and substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Ecotope is proving the savings by collecting minute data from site, calculating system efficiency, and displaying it on our EcoDash tool - an Ecotope developed online dashboard used to monitor and troubleshoot emerging technologies. Carbon credits provided Capital funds to install the system, which highlights the importance of legislation that puts monetary value on future carbon saving to support our economy through manufacturing and construction of new, healthy infrastructure (please vote NO on WA initiative I-2117 which would senselessly prevent this type of funding for Washington State in the future!!). Access to capital for decarbonization is critical to growing our economy into 21st century, because the ONLY truly healthy economy for the US is one that prioritizes our stewardship of the natural world and climate. The benefits of a healthy planet will cascade down to a healthier population, equity, and a stronger middle-class economy. Fossil fuels concentrate wealth and damage the planet. At Ecotope, Inc., we are proud and excited to continue developing and facilitating solutions that help industrial facilities like dairies decarbonize and support our domestic economy through well-compensated manufacturing and construction jobs. #sustainability #energyefficiency #climatecrisis #dairy #retrofit #heatpump #carboncredits #industrial #decarb #heatpumpwaterheaterday #americanmanufacturing #greeneconomy #NoWAI2117
关于我们
Ecotope has provided sustainable building design consulting and engineering services in the Pacific Northwest for over 40 years. We are a partner-owned small business providing expertise on all aspects of sustainability in buildings including heating systems, ventilation systems, water conservation, controls, building envelope performance, alternative energy systems, controls, and system interactions. Our company was formed in 1975 to target sustainability and added mechanical engineering services in the mid-1990s to directly influence energy-efficient designs. Our work designing buildings happens at the intersection of research, design, and policy. We have consistently delivered low energy outcomes, contributing to over 150 net-zero energy ready buildings and producing some of the lowest energy use buildings in the western U.S. At Ecotope, we pride ourselves on identifying and understanding the unique needs of our clients and going beyond what is expected to meet them. For us, this work represents an opportunity to ensure that cost-effective energy and resource-efficient designs are incorporated into multifamily buildings in the Pacific Northwest.

Sadly, Initiative I-2066 is likely to pass in WA State. The confusing language and misinformation in the campaign contributed significantly to its passage. It will slow us down but not stop us decarbonizing buildings in WA State. https://lnkd.in/gA-rKmBG

CHPWHs going global!
I'm very excited to share that Ecotope will be collaborating on an international research project funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The grant is an "Outstanding Young Scientist Grant" which was awarded to former Ecotope employee Hyunwoo Lim through Konkuk University. We will be extending the research that Ecotope has done on Multifamily Heat Pump Water Heating Systems to help decarbonize buildings in Korea. We will particularly be researching thermal storage potential of these systems and the ability to load shift and to utilize on-site solar power. Through this collaboration we will improve our modeling capabilities to optimize and predict the performance of these systems.

Thrilled to announce that we've been awarded a DOE BENEFIT grant to develop a new class of monoblock air-to-water heat pumps as part of the Decarbonization and Electrification with Advanced Replacement Boilers (DECARB) project. These innovative heat pumps, utilizing natural refrigerants, can efficiently generate 160-180°F water even at low ambient temperatures, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel boilers. In buildings with existing hydronic systems, this technology can replace the boiler, chiller, and water heater, requiring minimal electrical upgrades to achieve full electrification. We’re proud to partner with Flow Environmental Systems, Viessmann, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and are eager to begin this exciting work in 2025. https://lnkd.in/g9CNuG29

What a great weekend with the Ecotope crew!
Team outings aren’t just about having a good time – they’re great for building a stronger, more connected team. Recently, Ecotope headed to Rasar State Park for our annual group camping trip, and it did not disappoint. One highlight was of our very own, Bob Davis, leading a group down the Skagit River for some whitewater rafting. We even had our own makeshift pickleball court to play on. And to top it all off, we now have two river float feline mascots! It was wonderful to have everyone out enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. We’re already looking forward to next year!
