To
maintain the comfort of customers and employees alike; the heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning systems of commercial
establishments are typically used day in and day out. Some business
owners may be anxious about running the HVAC system all day long
because of rising utility bills, but what really affects energy
consumption is the condition of the equipment.
There
are measures that allows the system to provide comfort without the
excessive use of energy. The system can be set at least 1 point down,
as long as the temperature is still comfortable for people to
continue with their daily tasks. A 1°C difference can give an 8%
reduction on the annual heating bill. Ventilation fans should not be
running unless they are needed as this accounts for 30% of heat loss
and wastes energy.
Proper
maintenance is also another way to conserve energy. The simple act of
cleaning heating and cooling systems can help save on energy
consumption and can even ensure that utilities are in good working
condition for a long time. Investing on routine maintenance of
commercial HVAC systems can also help owners avoid further damages
and costlier repairs. Like all machinery, a well-maintained
HVAC system performs better and consumes less energy—definitely
a good investment for commercial establishments.
