Most buildings in the US are over ventilated
Some of the many energy efficient technologies we bring to any industrial or commercial facility. Our goal is to turn your facility into a high performance building.
Before beginning energy benchmarking it is necessary to identify which building and energy system in that building needs to be worked on first.
National energy use statistics are based on energy use per square foot and how a particular building is used. Reducing energy use to a minimum in any facility from energy conservation and efficiency retrofits is often more economical than producing energy from renewable energy sources.
Prioritizing energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Large Facility Energy Management
- Benefits of renewable energy price stability over investing in a natural gas CHP system.
- Benefits of eliminating a steam system used to heat one or many buildings.
- Benefits of eliminating pneumatic controls and replacing them with a modern DDC system.
- Energy recovery at a central chiller plant to reduce a simultaneous heating load.
- Energy recovery at building level to reduce a cooling or heating cost.
- We show any facility state of the art lighting technology and controls to reduce energy use related to lighting. A lighting efficiency upgrade is the first energy saving affordable technology for any facility to do first.
- Plug in power loads: Controlling plug in loads with smart power strips that turns equipment off when not in use or by computer software.
- Super performing thermal envelope. We show any facility where to insulate and air seal from ASRAE data to achieve a maximum return on investment.
- Natural Ventilation verses controlled mechanical ventilation. Our company will explain how retrofitting a CAV system with a DDC system that controls an economizer, VFD'S and zone VAV'S. The new 2007 ASHRAE energy codes are designed to save facilities more energy than the 2004 ASHRAE energy codes.
- High efficiency HVAC systems. We show your facility some of the many ways how to improve the efficiency of your existing HVAC systems. One example is multiple ceiling mounted radiant heating units in warehouses or buildings with a high ceiling as opposed to using convection units. Another example is multistage compressors and VRF high efficiency AC units.
- Passive solar heating and cooling. We show your facility how to implement passive solar thermal heating during the winter months. Passive solar cooling is a white roof.
- Active solar thermal heating: We show your facility how high efficiency active solar thermal heating 12 months out of the year works. Some of these systems use water to store solar thermal energy and to date this is still the most cost effective method to store solar thermal energy.
- Identify other energy saving: We identify other areas of your facility where energy savings is possible. These areas may include longer ROI's and other low cost ways for your facility to save energy. For example VFD's on non HVAC motors, pumps or fans for long periods of time will significantly reduce power consumption.
Natural Ventilation vs Controlled Mechanical Ventilation
Energy savings from demand mechanical ventilation and natural building ventilation as opposed to uncontrolled constant mechanical ventilation. Our company will explain how retrofitting a CAV system with a DDC system that controls an economizer, VFD'S and zone VAV'S (reduces energy consumption). The new 2007 ASHRAE energy codes are designed to save facilities more energy than the 2004 ASHRAE energy codes. Kitchens, walk in freezers and coolers in commercial buildings consume large amounts of energy and our company can show you how to make drastic reductions in their energy use.
