| HVAC Optimisation |  | |
|
| Our experience in energy auditing has shown that the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial buildings use the most energy and offer the greatest potential for energy savings. |

| Energy Solutions HVAC Optimisation |
Many, perhaps most, commercial buildings have oversized and poorly controlled HVAC systems, but because they haven't caused any major problems in the past facilities management staff do not attempt to make it perform better. Energy Solutions can identify and implement major energy savings through a detailed analysis of the performance of the HVAC system.
We have extensive experience in HVAC control systems and the strategies for optimising its performance (in terms of both energy efficiency and service delivered). Our equipment and expertise allow us to do a much more detailed analysis of the enrgy use of the HVAC system and uncover the huge energy savings that often exist there.

| Cost |
| HVAC Optimisation typically costs about $4/sq.m for commercial buildings with computerised building management systems installed, but can depend greatly on the type of HVAC system and controls set-up. It is much more sophisticated and much more detailed than a standard energy audit and therefore costs more than an energy audit. However the savings that are identified usually mean that the investment is paid back extremely fast. |

| Who needs HVAC Optimisation |
HVAC Optimisaton is only suited to some buildings. For the process to be most effective it needs to be a relatively large building with a substantial HVAC system. The more energy used by the HVAC system, the greater the savings will be.
If a basic energy audit has been completed first it should mean the simple energy saving measures have been identified and implemented. The energy audit will assist in establishing an understanding of the operation of the HVAC system and its nuances. This provides the platform from which to start the more in depth analysis of its performance.
The performance will be much easier to monitor, and energy savings much easier to achieve, if the organisation has an automated system for adjusting the controls of the HVAC system such as a Building Management System (BMS). |
