In a Tight Economy, Pure Air Control Services Helps Facilities Managers Save Energy, Maintain Sustainability and Improve IAQ

Oftentimes, the economic recovery (payback) for energy upgrades (investments) of their facilities HVAC systems are typically 2-3 years or 33% return on investment (ROI).

Tampa, FL -- With the economic downturn, many facility managers face tight operation and maintenance budgets.  Fortunately, many facilities are sitting on multiple energy conservation opportunities that can save tens of thousands of dollars per year with low investment.  Oftentimes, the economic recovery (payback) for energy upgrades (investments) of their facilities HVAC systems are typically 2-3 years or 33% return on investment (ROI).

 

In these tight economic times Pure Air Control Services, the global leader in indoor air quality, offers timely guidelines for facility managers under pressure to cut energy costs.

 

According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) the “HVAC system accounts for 40 to 60 percent of the energy used in U.S. commercial and residential buildings. This represents an opportunity for energy savings using proven technologies and design concepts”.

 

A recent article in the ASHRAE Journal authored by Ross Montgomery, PE entitled Study Verifies Coil Cleaning Saves Energy revealed a $40,000 a year savings from just one air handling system as a result of the restoration of the air handler/coil system at the 1500 Broadway a 34 story skyscraper building in Times Square, New York City which is home to ABC Studios and Good Morning America. 

 

In addition, the study indicated that they were able to decrease coil pressure drop 14% resulting in a corresponding increase in air flow and increasing the thermal efficiency of the cooling coil 25% while improving IAQ conditions.

 

Pure Air Control Services has a broad range of tools that are used to test, tune and maintain heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.  One of the services is thermal imaging, an invaluable tool to identify energy losses through thermal building envelop, insulation, HVAC and mechanical equipment.  Blower door leakage assessment, duct leakage tests, and IAQ baseline analysis provides additional guidance on energy savings, sustainability, and improved IAQ.

 

By saving energy, creating sustainability and improving IAQ, facility managers and building owners will do their part in America’s economic recovery.
