Cut Energy Costs with Oliver Heating & Cooling
August 4, 2008 by admin
Building automation systems (BASs) can be a powerful tool for commercial-building energy managers, but some managers are unsure about the prospective energy-savings benefits and first costs. A BAS by Oliver Heating & Cooling might go into a building that has no existing system, replace outdated pneumatic controls, or replace an existing direct digital control system. It’s possible, however, to make some generalizations about savings potential and costs. This can give energy managers who are considering BAS implementation a place to start—and help them work with energy providers to attain financial support.
Some of the most common strategies that BASs uses to cut energy costs include:
· Scheduling—Scheduling turns equipment on or off depending on time of day, day of the week, day type, or other variables such as outdoor air conditions.
· Lockouts—Lockouts ensure that equipment doesn’t turn on unless it’s necessary. For example, a chiller and its associated pumps can be locked out according to calendar date, when the outdoor air falls below a certain temperature, or when building cooling requirements are below a minimum.
· Resets—When equipment operates at greater capacity than necessary to meet building loads, it wastes energy. A BAS can ensure equipment operates at the minimum needed capacity by automatically resetting operating parameters to match current weather conditions. For example, as the outdoor air temperature decreases, the chilled water temperature can be reset to a higher value.
· Diagnostics—Building operators who use a BAS to monitor information such as temperatures, flows, pressures, and actuator positions may use that data to determine whether equipment is operating incorrectly or inefficiently, and to troubleshoot problems. Some systems also the use the data to automatically provide maintenance bulletins.
