8 Energy Saving HVAC Tips

With the UK energy crisis in full swing, building and facility managers must start making changes to improve energy efficiency on building HVAC systems to significantly reduce power bills. The combination of heating, ventilation and cooling often consumes the most energy for a commercial building, and according to the Department of Energy, HVAC systems use about 35% of a building’s energy on average.


Here are some important energy saving tips that will make your HVAC system more efficient, save money and even help your carbon footprint:


1 - Maintenance: Regular maintenance is the best way to keep your system in great shape and identify small issues before they become big problems!


2 - Retrofit: Retrofitting HVAC equipment is one of the quickest ways to solve chronic problems with high energy consumption. On average energy consumption can be reduced by 40% when retrofitting HVAC systems and equipment.


3 - Repairs: It’s tempting to hold off on repairs, but this strategy isn’t effective when you add the constantly growing cost of inefficient HVAC operations to the repair expense.


4 - New System: Upgrading to a new system is beneficial if your HVAC system was installed over a decade ago. New models have far better Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).


5 - Clean Air Filters: Dirty clogged filters result in blocking of airflow and decreasing the efficiency of the system by a significant amount. Clean filters regularly to ensure consistent efficiency of the air conditioning units.


6 - Insulations: The average cost of insulation is typically about 5-10% of the HVAC systems building cost. An investment in insulation easily results in substantial savings in heating costs during the lifetime of the building.


7 - Temperature: Don’t set your buildings heat too high or too low. Changing the temperature by just 1°C will make a big difference to the amount of energy used and can reduce bills by up to 10%.


8 - Smart Technology: HVAC monitoring systems can continuously observe energy consumption and overall performance of your equipment, leading to lower energy use, reduce costs, improved environmental performance, and minimise shutdowns and business interruptions.

Full Turnkey HVAC Projects
26 Sep, 2023
A Full Turnkey HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Project offers several significant benefits for commercial clients. Here are some of the key advantages: Single-Point Responsibility: With a full turnkey project, you have a single point of contact responsible for the entire project, from design to installation and ongoing maintenance. This simplifies project management, reduces communication challenges, and streamlines accountability. Cost Efficiency: Turnkey projects often result in cost savings due to economies of scale. The project manager can negotiate better deals with suppliers, optimize resource allocation, and minimize costly delays. Faster Project Completion: The streamlined process of a turnkey project typically leads to quicker project completion. Since the project team is integrated and works cohesively, there are fewer delays and bottlenecks. Quality Assurance: The project manager oversees all aspects of the project, ensuring that quality standards are met at every stage. This reduces the risk of defects or subpar workmanship. Reduced Risk: By entrusting the project to a single experienced contractor, clients can minimize their exposure to risk. The contractor assumes responsibility for managing unexpected issues, such as design changes or unforeseen construction challenges. Customised Solutions: A full turnkey project allows for tailored HVAC solutions that meet the specific needs of the client. The design, equipment selection, and installation are all customized to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Simplified Communication: Clients don't have to coordinate between multiple contractors, which can be complex and time-consuming. Instead, they can communicate directly with the project manager, ensuring clarity and efficiency. Energy Efficiency: HVAC experts can design and install systems that are highly energy-efficient, resulting in lower long-term operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint. Compliance and Regulations: The project manager is responsible for ensuring that all necessary permits and regulations are adhered to, reducing the risk of non-compliance issues. Maintenance and Support: Many full turnkey HVAC projects include ongoing maintenance and support contracts. This ensures that the HVAC system continues to operate efficiently over its lifespan, reducing downtime and repair costs. Peace of Mind: Clients can have peace of mind knowing that their HVAC project is in the hands of professionals who have the expertise and experience to deliver a successful outcome. In summary, a Full Turnkey HVAC Project offers convenience, cost-efficiency, and quality assurance. It simplifies the process for clients while providing them with customised, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that meet their specific needs and compliance requirements. It's a comprehensive approach that ensures a successful and hassle-free HVAC installation and operation.
