HVAC
Studies have shown that heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) can contribute up to 35 percent of energy used in manufacturing facilities.
Energy conservation should be a factor in the original equipment selection and system design. The best HVAC design considers the interrelationship of building systems while addressing energy consumption, indoor air quality, and environmental benefit.
The potential for energy conservation varies depending on the design of the system, the method of operation, operating standards, maintenance of control systems, monitoring of the system, and competence of the operators.
Generally, implementing a maintenance plan, installing controls such as an energy management system (EMS) and upgrading equipment when possible are good ways to save on energy costs.
