Breaking heat records, not your HVAC equipment.
Maintaining your commercial-grade HVAC equipment efficiently during extreme heat is crucial for both comfort and energy savings. Here's a comprehensive list of tips to help you achieve this:
Regular maintenance
Monitor refrigerant levels
Ensure outside units are clear of debris.
Maintain electrical components
Energy efficient lighting
Heat reflective roofing & windows
Smart thermostats & controls
Zone control & air balancing
Monitor & utilize BAS Systems
Monitor air flow
Consider Heat Recovery Systems
Train your staff on efficient usage
Plan for system upgrades
Preventative Maintenance.
Do dirty filters really matter? YES!
Having dirty filters not only affects the air you breathe but can also greatly impact the efficiency of your cooling system. According to Energy.gov, changing a dirty filter can lower your system’s energy consumption by 5 to 15 percent. This allows the equipment to work as designed by removing a higher heat load from the space.
Building Automation Systems.
Does a BAS system contribute to life span? Absolutely!
The job of a Building Automation System (BAS) is to maintain the HVAC equipment within its optimal operating conditions, avoiding scenarios of overworking or underutilization. This prevents unnecessary wear and tear, thus promoting a longer lifespan for the equipment.
