3 commercial HVAC tips to cut energy costs

Commercial buildings can use new technology to hold the line on energy costs and improve sustainability efforts.

Three suggestions:

• Get specific with energy use by switching to Variable Refrigerant Flow, also known as Variable Refrigerant Volume.\

This approach lets you focus on precise areas that need refrigerant when they need it, rather than keeping every area warm or cool 24/7.

• Along those same lines, add motion sensors to control your heating and cooling zones. 

This technology takes the place of your dad, who was always hollering at you kids to turn off the lights whenever you left a room. The sensors can reduce or stop HVAC when they determine an area is unoccupied.

• Put AI on the payroll. Artificial intelligence can be put to work to make timely adjustments to lights and HVAC operations.
