Interested in Reducing your building’s carbon footprint?

Buildings undergo several phases over their lifetime, including design, construction, operation, and retrofits. In each stage, there are opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

Did you know that commercial buildings account for about 16% of all US CO2 emissions?

Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Options with great impact include replacing inefficient equipment that burn fossil fuels and optimizing heating and cooling loads with variable speed compressors or an Energy Recovery Ventilation System.

Commercial Heat Pump

While boilers and furnaces rely on burning fossil fuels, heat pumps run on electricity, thus decarbonizing the heating process when paired with renewable energy.

Variable Speed Compressors

Using an inverter motor, the variable-speed drive can provide a wide range of capacities to match the compressor more closely to the load while enabling better dehumidification and minimizing power use across the entire operating range.

Energy Recovery Ventilation System

Provide increased ventilation rates and enable buildings to reduce heating and cooling loads

Controls Integration

According to the Department of Energy, integrating state-of-the-art sensors and controls into most commercial buildings can save as much as an estimated 29% of site energy consumption. These savings are achieved through high-performance sequencing of operations, optimizing settings based on occupancy patterns, and detecting and diagnosing inadequate equipment operation or installation problems. Furthermore, state-of-the-art sensors and controls can curtail or manage 10–20% of commercial building peak load. Here are some great building automation solutions to consider in helping you achieve your decarbonization and efficiency goals.
