HVAC Energy Saving Tips

How much power does HVAC use? You may be surprised. For example, on average, a central air conditioning unit can use 3,000 watts per hour on warmer days. This figure varies depending on different factors. Every building is different, but even new buildings with fewer energy demands must have mindful owners and property managers who monitor operating costs. Everything from controlled temperatures to energy-efficient thermostat settings can make a difference in your monthly bill.

Building automated systems (BAS) are sophisticated yet practical ways to leverage energy efficiency. When you install a BAS in your commercial building, you can operate your in-house systems remotely.

If any issues arise, such as temperature irregularities, report them to your HVAC technician. They can immediately address the issue that otherwise would have gone unnoticed until much later.

BAS enables you to control your lighting, water, alarm, and HVAC system with the touch of a button on a user-friendly screen. Additionally, you may set timers and ideal temperatures, so there’s less manual manipulation that costs more money in the long run.
