Solving Heating, Cooling, Comfort and Energy Problems Using Building Science and Engineering
Commercial Buildings
Commercial and Industrial buildings use a lot of energy. Unfortunately, most are not using that energy efficiently. Classical engineering and scientific principles utilized in the HVAC industry have been shown to provide successful results. However, these instances are few and primarily due to a mis-application of the fundamental principles. Designing and installing systems are complex, but is left to those that have not had the proper training to implement the requirements. As a result, most systems are not completed correctly and result in inefficient and uncomfortable conditions. In other words, they are NOT achieving the safe, comfortable, efficient, and healthy environment that is desired by all.
Recent work by AirAdvice showed that in a study of over 300 commercial buildings, more than 90% failed to meet fundamental conditions for acceptable comfort and energy efficiency. In an analysis of five fundamental elements of comfort and energy efficiency – temperatures that are too warm, too cool fluctuate excessively, fail to match the setpoint and evidence of over-ventilation, it was found that 96% of the buildings analyzed had at least one parameter out of bounds.
The study further states that conditions that are likely to generate comfort complaints exist in over 75% of buildings surveyed. Over 80% of the buildings showed evidence of over-ventilation. The ventilation is added to improve indoor air quality but is typically not correctly implemented. Once again, traditional HVAC systems and applications continue to fail to provide the desired result.
For those interested in achieving levels of comfort and efficiency that most do not have, we can help. In addition, a tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot is available for energy improvements. We can provide the certification necessary for you to obtain that deduction. Contact us for more information, whether you are looking for tax deduction certification in Arkansas, or anywhere else for that matter.
