Chamber Member WaterFurnace International Becomes the First to Achieve Green City Business,

WaterFurnace International has achieved Fort Wayne’s first Green City Business designation.

WaterFurnace achieved Green City Business status with a number of initiatives including: installing low flow aerators on sink faucets, installing energy efficient light bulbs, implementing a company wide paper recycling program, cleaning storm drains to allow for optimal runoff, landscaping with native plants to soak up more storm water, and recruiting another business to go through the process.

WaterFurnace attended a training session sponsored by the City’s Environmental and Energy Department early last month. The program helps businesses save money on energy costs and adopt more environmentally friendly business practices. It targets pollution prevention, solid waste reduction, and energy and water conservation.

WaterFurnace designs and builds geothermal units for the heating and air conditioning of both residential and commercial buildings.
