Smart Strategies to Optimize HVAC Usage in Warehouses
HVAC usage accounts for around 30% perfect of total energy costs in a warehouse, making them one of the more energy-dependent spaces in the commercial setting. What most property owners don’t know is you can actually reduce your HVAC usage without compromising your cooling and heating needs.
Comfort Zone of North Florida, Inc., your local HVAC contractor, discusses smart strategies to optimize your warehouse’s HVAC usage.
Repair Your System
HVAC systems in poor condition will cause your electric bills to spike up. What most property owners don’t know is that 30% of your consumption may be due to your HVAC system not performing properly. This is fairly common for AC units, which will consume more energy when there’s a Freon leak.
The simplest way to optimize your HVAC is to keep it in good condition. Take advantage of our commercial HVAC service and we’ll make sure your HVAC system is as energy-efficient as possible. We also offer quarterly maintenance plans that will keep your units in good condition throughout the year.
Take Advantage of Natural Ventilation
In some cases, you don’t necessarily have to crank on the AC to keep your warehouse cool. Take advantage of the windows and skylights and naturally ventilate your warehouse space. This also allows hot air to escape during warmer weather, which means you don’t have to immediately adjust the AC to keep your warehouse cool.
Smart Controls
Finally, take advantage of programmable thermostats with timers and setbacks. Keep in mind that you need to understand your warehouses’ ventilation needs as well. Most smart thermostats and indoor climate control have automated and programmable schedules that make this easier. You may also divide the warehouse into “thermal zones” with separate controls based on the space’s function, as well as its heating and cooling needs.
