HVAC systems used in commercial and residential establishment for
cooling and heating. Many of HVAC systems in UAE work 24 hours a
day, having poor maintenance, managed by technicians/facility
management team often not working at its optimum parameters
have performance related issues and bypass basic comfort factor.
Even though one takes regular measure to maintain the equipment,
repair/replace faulty product, HVAC retrofits take big role in a
building HVAC infrastructure working with optimization.
HVAC Retrofits, as opposed to full equipment replacement, will
replace part that are either out of date, faulty, not optimized or
replace old part with new parts. Some Known HVAC retrofits for
optimizations include Air Economizers, Heat and Energy Recovery
ventilation, Building Automation Systems, Demand Control
Ventilation, VAV’s, VFD’s etc.
Customer requirement to have more intrinsic controls on Cooling
zone with ever changing parameters like humidity, temperature
setpoints, Occupancy, ambient temperature etc. pushed industry to
put retrofits like IOT devices, sensors and control through software
to capture real time data, process in the cloud using specialized
Algorithms. Some advance companies started offering continuous
commissioning of results post data analysis, instead of publishing
discrepancies to be rectified by onsite staff. Continuous
Commissioning provides real time controls and changes based on
real time data from cooling zone and make attractive value
proposition form HVAC energy saving perspective, reduce carbon
footprint, and make building energy efficient.
