Chillers are high energy consumers and over 95% of the chillers waste 5-30% of the electricity on avoidable inefficiencies. Performance monitoring is the first step in chiller efficiency optimization. Lower Chiller operating cost through optimization of energy efficiency, increased plant reliability and reduced equipment wear with this DENA endorsed solution (German Energy Agency).Continue Reading
Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings is a challenge for the coming decades, particularly improving energy efficiency in existing buildings. Responsible building operators push improving building energy efficiency to the top of their agenda. Reducing energy consumption in commercial buildings starts with common sense, and a lot of work can be done by your own team before calling in the support of a specialized consultant.Continue Reading
As a property manager of a major hotel, hospital, mall, or event space, the efficiency of the chillers can make a big difference in the electricity costs you incur at the end of the month. In this article, we discuss two strategies that could be used independently or in combination to save on chiller operating cost and investment by maximizing capacity: Thermal storage; On-line or automatic tube cleaning;Continue Reading
In the search of ways to reduce building operating cost and energy consumption in the new US Department of Labor Building, a simple method of improving heat transfer was applied. A Presidential Letter of Commendation was given to Mr. Petritsch for such contribution to energy consumption and more economic management.Continue Reading
