Building HVAC Controls
Save energy and lower operating costs by improving and optimizing HVAC controls systems.
A building’s HVAC system controls can impact where you spend your time and money as a building manager. Improving your building’s HVAC control systems boosts your space’s energy efficiency and comfort, while lowing operating costs and providing better control and insights into the system. There are many ways to improve your building’s HVAC system controls, whether you need a tune-up or plan to upgrade your system over time. Services are available for buildings with and without a Building Management System (BMS). Up-front incentives make it easy to get started.
Highlights
- Better control and insights into HVAC system
- Reduced operating costs through energy savings
- Improved equipment and system performance
- Improved occupant comfort and air quality
How to Get Started
Before you start updating your system, we recommend getting an assessment of your building’s current conditions. This will help you identify and prioritize your opportunities. We can help you create a path to identify the issues, repairs, and upgrades to your HVAC systems.
It’s time to assess your HVAC system controls if:
- Anything needs repair; if sensors are out of calibration or actuators are failing
- Error messages regularly show up in the Building Management System
- Temperature resets and setpoints are not optimal
- Equipment is not running efficiently
- Building occupants are complaining about comfort
- You’re interested in an in-depth commissioning project
Financial incentives are available to cover or offset assessment fees.
From Basic to Advanced: Pathways to Updating Your HVAC Controls System
Taking care of basic upgrades allows your HVAC system to run efficiently. Improving your building’s HVAC controls system can be like a journey: you can start with the essential updates and work your way toward maximum efficiency and advanced upgrades over time.
When you make these updates, you can expect:
- Better control and insights into your HVAC system, allowing resets and scheduling
- Reduced operating costs through energy savings
- Improved equipment performance
- Reduced occupant complaints through improved thermal comfort and indoor air quality
- Improve system performance
- Extend equipment life
- Improve building operation through simplified and more transparent HVAC operation
- Reduce staff time required to control the building
We can support your controls improvement projects wherever they stand, from more basic to more advanced:
- Repair, retune and resequence your systems
- Upgrade field devices
- Upgrade supervisory software
- (Re)commission your building
- Integrate your controls systems, for example lighting and HVAC
- Establish monitoring-based commissioning
- If you do not have a building management system, we can support web-connected controllers
