What are the top HVAC systems energy efficiency opportunities?
• Install direct digital controls to improve comfort and monitor equipment operation. • Install premium-efficiency motors. • Install demand-controlled ventilation. • Install variable air volume air handling systems with variable speed drives. • Downsize to new high-efficiency HVAC equipment. • Use condensing boilers with large turn-down ratios to improve low-fire efficiencies. • Ventilate garages in response to environmental conditions. • Upgrade the energy management system; optimize settings to reflect usage, respond to changing weather patterns, and control peak electric loads. • Continuously commission the building. • Verify economizer function and control.
