Is Building Automation the Key to an Energy-Efficient Summer?

-

For building operation managers and owners, keeping energy costs down is a priority – at the same time, you also want your tenants to be comfortable in a healthy, clean environment. Building automation systems/services (BAS) may be the right investment to bring long-term costs down without sacrificing quality of life. Here are some insights from commercial HVAC contractors.

What are Building Automation Systems? 

Essentially, BAS is a system of technology and equipment that allows your building’s discrete systems to be fully integrated and controlled at a central point. Systems that can be integrated in this way include commercial HVAC systems, CCTV and security systems, lighting, internet, irrigation systems and much more.

Large building automation systems are often implemented as a collection point for the presentation of data from other systems. In particular, heating control systems which result in the majority of energy savings in a building, can often act as a “poor man’s” building automation system, providing internet and wireless access for monitoring energy usage throughout a building without the other bells and whistles.

Feedback to Customize Services for Maximum Efficiency 

BAS or Energy Management Systems as they are often called, also deliver comprehensive feedback to your team, including performance data, energy use and more, which is ideal for monitoring alarms and performance analysis. It can also alert your team to potential problems in the system, for example, a drop in air pressure that may indicate a loose blower belt or that your HVAC filters need replacing. This allows you to deal with problems quickly before they result in costly inefficiencies or repairs.

The system’s feedback mechanisms also allow you to identify when your HVAC is under strain by monitoring its energy usage. An unexplained spike in energy usage will be picked up immediately, allowing you to schedule a maintenance check. This extends the lifespan of your HVAC system by reducing stress factors that lead to wear-and-tear.

By automatically calibrating temperature settings and making adjustments throughout the day, your tenants are not only kept happy and comfortable, you are also able to maximize savings and lower energy usage. If you have multiple tenants with different operating hours or needs, the system can deliver this with ease as well as supply individual usage monitoring to allow you to bill separately with great accuracy.

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 require advanced facilit

A good commercial HVAC contractor is more than a company that you call when things start going wrong in your building – they’re a partner who works with you to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for employees, clients and tenants. Here are some tips on finding a HVAC contractor that can be relied on for professional, expert service and advice. Essential paperwork:  One of the very first steps in this process is ensuring that the company has the correct permits and licensing from the state or municipality, and that they are in possession of a contract license surety bond.

Looking for a  commercial HVAC contractor  to maintain, repair, design or install a new HVAC system for your building? Here’s some advice to help you find the right team for the job. Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring a Commercial Contractor  You don’t know what you need:  Of course, your HVAC contractor should be able to do a full assessment of your system and advise you on repairs or upgrades, but it’s important that you have an informed idea of the services you are seeking. Are you making energy-efficiency a priority? Is your system making strange noises and emitting unpleasant smells? What is your budget? You don’t get multiple quotes:  Unless you have industry experience, it’s very difficult to tell when a quote is reasonable or not, which makes getting multiple quotes essential. Call in at least three contractors and have them assess the situation and see what they offer before you accept an estimate. You don’t ask for references:  The best way to find out if your
