Event Description
Items to cover during this class:
  • Tailored Cleaning Schedule: Every property is different, even with the same equipment. It is important to understand the key factors to determine what is the optimum schedule for your equipment's maintenance.
  • Staged/Staggered Start: Morning startup for a facility is a major energy usage spike for every facility. These spikes have a lot of influence on the properties billing rates. By understanding how to stage your HVAC equipment to optimize for keeping these spike down, the operating costs can be minimized.
  • Building Air Pressure: Air flow and fresh air are key parts to having a healthy and ventilated building. This managed improperly can quickly lead to major energy and comfort costs in the heat of summer.
  • Variable Condenser Water Setpoints: Plants with centrifugal chillers have a great advantage in BTU per KW. This benefit can be severely crippled with poor condenser water setpoint practices. We will discuss the theories out there and how to maximize efficiency and equipment life with a single setpoint.
By combining these 4 factors together into a tailored solution, maintenance and energy costs are maximized for sustainability.
