Partner with ThermStar on heat recovery projects
ThermStar works with utilities, energy programs, equipment manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, engineering and specifying firms, HVAC installation contractors, distributors with in house engineering capabilities, and other qualified project participants.
A flexible role in the project
Commercial and industrial heat recovery often involves several organizations.ThermStar can provide a Lepido® component, a more complete ThermStar configuration, ThermStar™ Power Intelligence, or related technical and commercial support.
The offering can be adapted to the partner’s project model. Partners retain their customer relationships and remain responsible for their own engineering, equipment, installation, contracting, and service scopes. To see who you would be working with, read about ThermStar and Norrel.
Utility and energy program partners
Utilities and program administrators can evaluate ThermStar projects for existing efficiency programs, custom incentives, demonstrations, or innovation initiatives.
ThermStar can provide available technical information, energy methodology, monitoring, and reporting to support program review.
Equipment and distribution partners
Manufacturers and distributors can integrate ThermStar technology into retrofit or new equipment applications.
Firms with internal engineering capabilities may use the platform to address a difficult exhaust condition or add a measurable energy recovery option to their broader offering.
Engineering and installation partners
Engineering and specifying firms can access product information, application support, and flexible configuration options. Installation contractors can coordinate the field scope, piping, electrical work, controls interfaces, startup, and service responsibilities defined for the project.
Discuss a partner pathway
ThermStar can support one opportunity or a repeat deployment model across customers, equipment packages, facilities, or territories. Contact solutions@thermstar.com to discuss the role, application, and information your organization needs.
What happens next
A first conversation helps ThermStar understand the operating goal, the facility context, and the people involved in the decision.
Proportionate to the opportunity
From there, the team can identify the smallest useful information request and determine whether a screen, technical review, partner discussion, or document request is appropriate.
This approach keeps the process proportionate to the opportunity while giving operations, finance, engineering, health and safety, and sustainability stakeholders clear information for the next decision.
Does ThermStar take over the partner customer relationship
No. Equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, distributors, contractors, utilities, and other partners retain their customer relationships and responsibility for their project scopes. ThermStar provides the approved technology, components, information, and support defined for the collaboration.
Can ThermStar technology fit an existing partner standard
Potentially. The scope may include a source component, a more complete configuration, controls and monitoring, or related application support. Technical, commercial, documentation, and interface requirements are reviewed before a repeatable approach is established.
What should a prospective partner provide first
A useful first inquiry identifies the partner type, customer or market need, equipment or process involved, expected exhaust conditions, potential receiving load, project stage, geography, and desired ThermStar role. Detailed confidential information can follow under the appropriate arrangements.
Can a successful partner application be repeated
Yes, repeat deployment may be possible when operating conditions and project requirements are sufficiently similar. ThermStar can help define a consistent information package and review process. Each customer, site, and application must still be confirmed before supply.
