subject: Saving Energy Office Weatherizing [print this page] In these times when promoting energy efficiency is more an obligation than a recommendation and with the approach of summer and the maximum use of air conditioning, we provide a number of useful tips for saving energy-and money-in the place where more hours spent to date: the office. All without sacrificing an iota of thermal comfort.
What is the difference in temperature? The solution is in the zoning
A common central air conditioning with a single control thermostat installed to multiple computers, often results in a large temperature difference as the worker is placed closer or further from the source of air conditioning. This also causes what is commonly called the "war of the air conditioning": continuous on and off, temperature rises and falls in search of the comfort of ones and others. A waste of energy in the absence of control elements that allow adjusting the level of conditioning to the particular needs of each space.
The solution to this chaotic situation in the air conditioned management in many companies is zoned in centralized systems.
In a zoned facility Commercial Real Estate Fort Bonifacio has its own thermostat regulator and air crews to communicate with each other grids monitored. As the set temperature is reached, the screen shuts off automatically air, opening the office again when you still need air conditioning. Thus each space get the right amount of BTUs, saving energy and ensuring maximum comfort without unnecessary on and off.
This simple system can be controlled locally, through the thermostat located in each zone, or in a centralized manner, integrating the entire system in the Commercial Real Estate Fort Bonifacio maintenance system, which allows permanent control over the thermostat set temperature in each . This system can achieve energy savings of up to 50% per year.
No lower than 24 degrees
Official recommendations coming from the Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDEA) set the proper temperature of the air conditioner to 24 degrees or more. A temperature sufficient to maintain wellness and allows energy savings of between 5 and 10% in the consumption of air conditioning.
For an increase of 2 C during the three summer months, with the possibility of a small control range, saving a large company may be about 72,000 kWh, which avoids the emission of 27 tons of CO2, an amount equal to annual electricity consumption of 29 families.
Without a suit and tie
The Japanese were the first to experience this new way to save energy: leave the suit and tie at home. Wear lighter in summer decreases the sensation of heat, which increases to a couple of degrees the temperature of air conditioning in Commercial Real Estate Fort Bonifacio.
