HVAC Energy Saving – The Alternative Approach

HVAC systems are used in commercial and residential establishments for cooling and heating. These systems keep you comfortable from outside harsh conditions by providing optimum temperature, maintaining humidity, and clean environmental conditions.  

With changing environmental parameters and increasing temperatures worldwide, the HVAC requirement to manage extreme conditions has become more demanding where every degree of temperature management is directly proportional to energy saving in dollar terms. Hence, HVAC energy-saving technologies have taken the center stage in Smart Building controls and are hot topics in forums, regulatory bodies, and in government.

HVAC equipment can be categorized broadly as Chilled Water Systems ( Chiller buildings, District Cooling buildings), DX systems ( Split, Ducted Split, Windows ), and DX variable flow Systems ( VRF, VRV). Depending upon the requirement appropriate system can be deployed each one of them has advantages over the others.

Below is an alternative and cost-effective way to handle HVAC energy saving and optimization.   

Demand side ( Airside) HVAC energy saving with optimization

By Controlling and optimizing the cooling demand one can offload the supply side( Chiller, compressor, etc) to save up to 40% HVAC energy with extremely attractive ROI. Using Smart HAVC Controls like IOT Controllers and devices, sensors, cloud-based application, Data Analytics, and mobile App, technology leverage the option to control FCU, Remote based DX units,  Widows Units, and selectively VRF units. Main Objective with which technology work is ” Use cooling as and when needed optimally”. Technology offers the right interfaces like wireless BMS to control all air-side equipment irrespective of equipment type.  Technology has the potential to control and optimize cooling for individual AHUs ( Air Handling Units) basis live parameters like occupancy, humidity, and Temp and continuously commission optimum CFM in the cooling zone to save energy, reduce carbon footprint and make a building energy efficient. It is very common to have an analog thermostat not calibrated throwing the wrong temperature input. Smart thermostat installation replacing the old thermostat itself can save energy.
