Energy Efficiency Tips for Commercial Buildings

9/20/2019 (Permalink)

1. Effective Water Heating Strategy: Use outdoor air resets and night setbacks of hot water systems. The hotter your water temperature the faster you lose energy through pipes and storage tanks.

2. Energy-Efficient Building Envelope: Additional indoor temperature inputs for optimized start up and shut down helps reduce heat loss and improves comfort.

3. Lighting and Electrical Systems: Use Occupancy sensors, suspended indirect luminaries and daylighting strategies. Keep abreast of efficiency trends in the latest IESNA Lighting Handbook.

4. Remote Energy Monitoring (Gas & Electric): Identify efficiency opportunities and facilitate load leveling and peak demand management.

5. Recommissioning: Studies show that continuously monitoring a building’s energy systems can lead to reductions of 10% to 15% in annual energy bills.
