Reduce Project Headaches
- Schedule for the HVAC, Lighting Controls, Domestic Hot Water is not programmed.
- Building operational 24/7/365. Just by programming a weekly time schedule 76% of energy is saved.
- Missing equipment.
- Comparing the drawings to the completed project uncovers missing equipment and control units. Occupant demand is not met and leads to unsafe or uncomfortable working conditions. Occupant productivity is significantly affected.
- Proper air flow
- Test and balance calibrates the individual HVAC components. When performing the Functional Performance Tests Cx uncovers if HVAC as a whole achieve proper air flow. Systems can starve areas of proper air flow rendering the system useless. Occupant productivity is significantly affected.
- Domestic hot water temperatures
- Hot water temperatures from hand washing faucets and showers not adjusted. Temperatures have reached 140 degrees F when systems are not adjusted. Scalding is always a danger. Occupant safety is ensured with lower temperatures as well as energy savings.
- Safeties and alarms
- Building systems are at risk when programming is not complete and units are running. Safeties and alarms help units protect against damage and alarms notify maintenance to inspect specific items. New equipment could immediately need repair or replacement if not properly protected. Replacements often take weeks, greatly effecting turnover dates.
