Energy Efficiency is Key for Apartment Building HVAC Systems



Apartment living is a way of life in big cities, especially those across New York and New Jersey. They offer access to an urban, vibrant lifestyle in city centers through an efficient use of space – but running them properly can be a complex operation, especially when it comes to energy efficiency.
According to the Annual Energy Outlook 2017 from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the residential sector’s leading uses of energy are in heating and cooling their space, which accounts for 343 billion kWh in 2016 alone. High-rise apartment buildings are often the highest users of this energy spend, as the buildings have their own unique challenges to overcome that regular homes don’t. This doesn’t mean that they can’t be run efficiently, however – all it takes is the right HVAC system.

Benefits of Energy Efficient HVAC Control Systems for Apartment Buildings 


For building owners, the benefits of these systems are clear:

  • Reduced operating costs – With large multi-family buildings, even small changes can result in big savings, and the initial investment in an upgraded system custom-designed to suit your building can often be paid back within a year or two in savings. Over the long-term, these systems can result in a significant proportion of saved capital.
  • Re-invest in your building – These savings can be used to re-invest in your building to add value and increase tenant satisfaction rather than simply being handed over to your utility company.
  • Increased marketability – The competition for tenants is fierce and it’s important to have an offering that appeals to the segment that you want to attract. Residents – especially the younger market – are increasingly choosing eco-friendly living options that offer a lower carbon footprint. Investing in energy-efficient technology helps you get onto this Green housing trend.
  • A more comfortable, healthy environment – These upgrades are not just about the cost-savings that you’ll be passing on to your tenants, it’s also about creating a more comfortable and healthier environment in your building. Energy-efficient upgrades like modern HVAC systems, sealing off drafts, and energy-saving lighting all lead to quality of life improvements like cleaner air, reduced injuries and reduced health problems like cardiac and pulmonary illnesses.
