Benefits for Educational Institutions
Lowers Lifecycle Cost
The TEAL iPlant lowers a campus’s lifecycle cost by leveraging margin compression and providing enhanced operational and energy efficiency. TEAL works directly with the original equipment manufacturer and assembles and tests all systems in our Houston fabrication center delivering significant cost-savings which allows district officials to reallocate these funds to other areas of need. This off -site manufacturing approach also provides faster installation, increased system reliability, and a trouble-free start-up and commissioning process when compared to traditional field-built plants.
Creates a Comfortable Learning Environment
With guaranteed uptime, the TEAL iPlant keeps campuses comfortable for students and teachers to help them learn and grow to the best of their ability, and allowing school administrators to focus their attention on other issues directly related to what is most important - achievement in the classroom.
Provides Financial Peace of Mind
The TEAL iPlant provides managed, monitored and maintained hot and chilled water for one flat monthly fee - no hassles and no surprises. Incur less upfront costs with our zero down option, or choose to lower your monthly rate by investing more initially. TEAL provides total financial fluidity balancing first-cost vs operating expenses and allows the owner to determine the customized plan that meets the specific project needs.
Reduces the Need for On-Site Technicians
Keeping dedicated specialized personnel on-site to maintain the central plant can be costly. TEAL helps reduce the workload of internal maintenance teams and eliminates the financial burden that comes with having to employ a third-party contractor.
