Today’s HVAC systems are quite remarkable when coupled with take of the art digital direct controls in their ability to provide outstanding comfort, while simultaneously reducing energy costs, due to the increased efficiency of the system. Normally found on a wide variety of commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, these control systems are basically computer systems that constantly monitor a number of performance factors in the system, including, temperature, humidity, as well as such things as zone dampers and VAV boxes. As the controls analyze the data, the system is constantly adjusting to stay within the custom set parameters programmed into the system to maximize performance.
One of the features of the system that is beneficial to the tenant or the building owner is for ability of the system to be automatically shut down or temperature settings adjusted, when the building is empty at night or on weekends. The system wakes up and provides heating and cooling before people arriving for work and conditions the space based upon user-defined parameters.
When people leave at night the system significantly reduces the amount of cooling and heat flowing into the space. The savings in energy costs are significant. A feature that building managers will appreciate is the ability to log onto remotely to the system via an Internet connection and check the status of the system and do a variety of diagnostic functions. This is particularly important to building engineers that are managing multiple buildings in different locations. Integrated digital control systems are a key component in the maximizing the efficient use of any commercial, industrial or institutional HVAC system.
