ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES FOR COMMERCIAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

-

The best time to upgrade your building or facility’s commercial air conditioning system is in the last few months of cool weather, before the heat – and the rush – sets in. With one of the largest electrical loads in residential and commercial buildings, it makes sense to invest in energy-efficient upgrades that can help reduce running costs. Here are a few projects to consider, from leading NJ commercial HVAC contractors.

4 Upgrades for Commercial Air Conditioning Systems for Energy Savings:

1. Building Envelope Improvement 
The condition of your building makes a significant impact on both cooling and heating efficiency. So, it’s a good idea to have a professional building envelope inspection before making any upgrades. Check for areas where poor insulation can be improved and where air leaks can be blocked. Once these improvements are made, you’ll lessen the workload on your current system for immediate efficiency improvement.

2. Adequate Air Conditioning Capacity
Excess cooling capacity is not a good thing, despite sounding like it. Buildings with oversized air conditioning systems suffer from a range of costly issues. Not only is the equipment more expensive to purchase, but running and maintaining them is more expensive too. That’s because an oversized air conditioner has so much spare capacity that it operates on short cycles, causing faster mechanical wear. Instead, aim to install a commercial air conditioning system with adequate capacity so that your unit runs the way it was designed to.

3. Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems 
One major upgrade for any building is the installation of a VRF system. Older air conditioning systems have a blanket approach to cooling and limited ability (if any) to cool designated zones. VRF systems, however, are all about zoning because they can be programmed to only cool where it’s needed, resulting in significant energy savings.

4. Programmable Thermostats and Smart Technology 
Buildings and facilities management is becoming more customizable and more connected every day, with the benefit being that buildings are becoming more efficient with technology and enjoyable to use. Technology like Wi-FI  programmable thermostats and Building Automation Systems with Direct Digital Controls help facility managers allocate energy resources more effectively. Many smart systems use BAS with remote sensors to self-regulate, automatically adjusting cooling and heating for unoccupied to occupied spaces as people come and go.

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.

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.

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.

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.
