Efficient HVAC systems save commercial and residential property owners money thru reduced operational costs. Saving money is extremely important to both business owners and homeowners alike in today’s economic environment. The best way to determine the efficiency of any system is to perform a thorough energy efficiency analysis, which will examine energy consumption, energy costs and identify any potential cost savings opportunities. The goal of the analysis is to make specific recommendations to improve system performance, while minimizing costs and maximizing comfort.
Typically an energy efficiency analysis will consist of a physical examination of the existing HVAC system, as well as a quantitative analysis of the system. During the physical examination, the technician will examine the individual components of the system, while performing an inventory of the system. The condition of the individual components will be noted, as well as any existing safety hazards. The system’s air distribution and temperature systems will be checks as well. In some cases, an indoor air quality test may also be performed.
As one would expect, the quantitative analysis on the system is all about the numbers and data. Past historical data showing the ownership and operating costs of the HVAC system are examined to determine the total cost of ownership. An analysis of energy consumption will also be performed to determine how much energy is being consumed. Based upon the physical inspection of the system, as well as the quantitative analysis of the data, a written report is provided to the property owner with specific recommendations, estimated costs for improvements, as well as an implementation plan for the proposed improvements.
