Commercial HVAC systems have a significant effect on the health, comfort and productivity of occupants.
Issues like user discomfort, improper ventilation, and poor indoor air quality are linked to HVAC system design and operation. These issues can be improved by better mechanical and ventilation systems. In many existing buildings, envelope upgrades are often necessary to maximize comfort and energy efficiency, such as reducing envelope leakage.
The best HVAC design considers all the interrelated building systems while addressing indoor air quality, energy consumption, and environmental benefit.
Optimizing the design and benefits requires that the mechanical system designer and the architect address these issues early in the HVAC schematic design phase and continually revise subsequent decisions throughout the remaining design process. It is also essential to implement well-thought-out commissioning processes and routine preventative maintenance programs. This is good advice for both new and retrofit applications.
To optimize the selection of efficient, cost-effective mechanical and ventilation systems, performing an energy analysis early in the process, is crucial.
An energy analysis is done to predict the energy behavior of the building’s structure, air conditioning system, and central plant equipment.
Following The Correct Guidelines
As we always say, following the correct guidelines can save money and energy by reducing the size requirements of the HVAC system and its energy demand, while still meeting comfort requirements and providing better indoor air quality to our commercial customers.
