Improve Operational Efficiency with your Northern Virginia HVAC Company

How can you make your Northern Virginia commercial building operate more efficiently? Here’s a checklist of some basic things that you can do that will make an impact on your bottom line.

1. Water audit and conservation: Conduct a water audit to determine where water is being used and wasted. Water consumption can be reduced by maintaining equipment and fixing leaks. Slow faucet leaks add up: 300 gallons of water a month can be wasted. Also look for water conservation products and technologies, such as low flow and dual flush fixtures.
2. Training: Keeping up-to-date with training on new technologies, equipment, and best practices is an essential part of improving operational efficiency.
3. Maintenance: Even the most energy efficient HVAC equipment can become inefficient if not properly maintained. Properly serviced equipment results in lower energy costs and extended life, and helps to avoid emergency repairs, which can be costly.
4. Building Management System: By using building management systems effectively, energy consumption and stress on mechanical systems can be reduced. With building management systems, you can proactively monitor, analyze, and reset HVAC set points for chilled and hot water temperatures, discharge air temperatures, and fan cubic feet per minute (CFM).
5. LEED Standards: By renovating, and operating your facility according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, your operating costs can decrease and asset values can increase. You will be helping the environment by conserving energy and water and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
6. Vibration Analysis: Listen for rattles and noises; look for excessive equipment vibration. These are signs of operational inefficiencies that can be corrected using advanced inspection tools, such as vibration analysis.
7. ENERGY STAR: When purchasing new equipment, select energy-efficient equipment with the ENERGY STAR label.
8. Go green: Help save the environment by purchasing environmentally-friendly products and using suppliers who support green practices.
