Green initiatives and sustainability are pressing priorities in business today.
Sustainable solutions are not only beneficial for the environment, but they can also create considerable energy, and therefore cost, savings.
Did you know, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can account for up to 50% of a commercial building’s energy use?
Therefore, making steps towards a sustainable HVAC system in your space can have a significant impact on lowering your expenses, whilst boosting your energy efficiency ratings, such as the National Australian Built Environment Ratings System (NABERS).
To do this, it is important to work with professionals in commercial air conditioning and have a considered plan in place.
Here are just some of our suggestions in perusing a more eco-friendly, efficient and sustainable HVAC solution for your business.
Optimal operation
Ensure your system is operating at its best – and therefore most cost and energy effective – by having your maintenance and service schedule up to date. You may also like to read the NSW Government’s HVAC Optimisation Guide released by the Office of Environment & Heritage.
Make reductions in demand
If you can, implement methods that reduce the demand on your heating and cooling equipment including insulation, window glazing, and natural ventilation.
Upgrade as needed
Technological advances bring with them so many energy-efficient options, which have the potential to make you savings over the lifespan of the equipment. Upgrading also presents an opportunity to assess and improve on the performance of your entire system.
