Rooftop HVAC units (RTUs) are very durable, weather-proof, and can withstand most extreme weather conditions. You’ve probably seen RTUs at your local shopping mall, hospital, school, and other public buildings with flat roofs. They work the same way as other external ground-level HVAC units or indoor HVAC units by providing hot or cold air to a building or home. RTUs are ideal for buildings with flat roofs and you’ll most often find them on rooftops of commercial buildings. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how rooftop HVAC units work: Fresh air is introduced into the RTU via the air hood or economizer on the side of the unit. Air hoods resemble mini-awnings with a small opening underneath it – this keeps snow and rain out while allowing air to enter. After fresh air enters the RTU, it then gets mixed with the return air and  moves into the system’s filters where any contaminants are removed before it’s released into the building. After being decontam...

  If you’re a commercial property owner, then monitoring the efficiency of your building is undoubtedly one of the most important things you do on a regular basis. It’s essential to keep buildings like town halls, offices, schools, and other commercial properties properly heated and cooled. And in an effort to keep monthly HVAC costs under control, many building owners are seeking to maximize the efficiency of their buildings. However, if you own multiple commercial properties and each building contains several systems, the monitoring process can easily get complicated and turn into a job for several people.  This is where metering comes in. Energy metering provides you with important data that enables you to make instant, substantial improvements. Certain meters, like smart meters, bring together all the data from your systems and provide you with a centralized hub from which you can monitor it.  Metering also helps you save money by: Detecting any inefficiencies...
