Exactly How Do I Realize A
Return?
Three
important goals for any building professional are: 1) preserving the
building's asset value, 2) optimizing energy use, and 3) providing a
consistently healthy and comfortable occupied space.
Cleaning dirty HVAC systems is a fundamental component of
achieving these goals, and is supported by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, NY State "Green and Clean" Regulations,
American Society of Heating Refrigeration Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and other Authoritative References.
HVAC efficiency starts with clean
systems. To help you optimize potential energy savings and the
occupant productivity benefits associated with a positive indoor
environment, we encourage you to consider the following suggestions:
Not Just A Project - It's a
Program!
To achieve
the goals stated above, your HVAC system cleaning project should be
a component of an overall Building Performance / IAQ Management
PROGRAM. We accomplish this by providing the following as part of
our projects:
- Photographic verification and documentation
of clean system components - Summary analysis of other key
building performance variables that relate to system efficiency and
environmental quality (e.g. ventilation efficiency, particles, total
volatile organic compounds). See sample report below. - A
"Building Performance / IAQ Management" binder to organize the
documentation (above), and provide other support material as
evidence of your compliance with government and industry standards
and guidelines.
IAP has successfully implemented a
programmatic approach for the U.S. Navy, municipalities, and other
facility clients. ![]()
A Prudent Investment
Our trained
and professional staff helps you identify priorities, budget
accordingly, and achieve not only successful cleaning projects, but
a program for facility optimization. This translates into more cost
effective operations and creates a positive and productive work
environment. |
Calculation for Energy Savings
A recent
ASHRAE field study indicates that 25 - 35% of buildings are
over-ventilated. This means there is a potential for energy savings
as outdoor air quantities can be reduced. Seventy percent of the
buildings that we've surveyed indicate potential energy savings,
either due to over-ventilation or improperly adjusted temperature
set points.
If your space is overventilated the potential
for realizing significant cost savings is great. Click on the Word
file below to calculate the savings for your facility. ![]()
Your Most Important Asset - Your
People
Both American
Management Association and Building Owners and Managers have studied
the effects of a comfortable and healthy environment on worker
productivity. How can increased worker productivity and decreased
absenteeism be quantified in terms of dollar savings? Click on the
document below to more specifics on worker productivity and other
costs associated with poor IAQ.
