With energy costs on the rise, ways to decrease your energy use and increase efficiency are probably on your mind.
Workspaces and commercial buildings require many devices that consume high levels of energy. However, finding some alternative methods to keep your environment comfortable might just help to reduce your energy bill.
Windows provide natural light into a building, but they can also contribute to the indoor temperature. Installing tinted glass and awnings prevents harsh sunlight during summer, while keeping window dressing closed in the early morning and evening keeps indoor temperatures consistent throughout the day. This prevents your HVAC – heating, ventilation, and air conditioning – system having to adjust temperatures, a process which both increases pressure on the system and energy consumption.
Installing timers for across your HVAC solutions will mean that energy is being used efficiently when employees are in the workplace and need a comfortable environment, while the system can be switched off automatically when operating hours have finished and the building is empty. Along with this, the timer can lock in a set temperature that stays consistent from the start to the end of the working day.
Regular maintenance is critically important to ensuring that your system is running effectively and efficiently, and it means you have the opportunity to fix any potential problems that can cause increased energy consumption and therefore cost.
Booking regular maintenance checks or implementing a reliable servicing contract is an effective in managing power bills and operating expenses.
By adopting these methods, you have the opportunity to save your organisation money while also doing your part for the environment and Equilibrium Air Conditioning can help.
