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.

Common HVAC Pump Problems And Their Solutions

-
Image
Hydronic pumps are a critical part of your commercial HVAC system’s operation, keeping your building cool in summer and warm in winter. Here are some of the most common problems with this unit that we’ve dealt with at our  commercial HVAC company in NJ,  and how to solve them. Cavitation:  This occurs when there is too much air in the liquid that flows through the system and can lead to increased wear-and-tear of the pump and damage to the impeller. Vibration: Excessive vibration can be caused by out-of-balance equipment, bad bearings, an unbalanced rotor, bent shaft or a clogged impeller. The pump will have to be checked as it may have worn out, or your system will require lubrication, replacement bearings, impeller adjustment or an adjustment of the flow speed. The pump is too big: HVAC equipment is often selected without considering the size of the area the system is servicing. An oversized pump will start up and shut down more than it is designed to do beca...

A proper heating system is essential for every commercial building, including factories and industrial sites, and having the correct  boiler system installed  and maintained by specialists is key to operational efficiency and minimal downtime. But all commercial Boiler service companies are not created equal. Levels of expertise, experience, access to specialized equipment, responsiveness, and integrity when considering repair or replace, are also critical. What to look for in your commercial boiler contractors  Commercial and industrial experience:  If you need an existing system maintained, repaired or upgraded, or a new system built from the ground up, residential boiler specialists simply won’t be able to help you – you need a partner who understands the demands of commercial heating systems. This is because scale isn’t the only factor at play – commercial systems have to work harder, have a role beyond just heating in many businesses, and often requi...
