I have been recently looking into energy retrofit services.
Like with anything else, age makes you obsolete, however my company has been around for almost twenty years, and i have seen my building costs slowly increase overtime.
I started looking online at why it is costing myself and others more to run my building; A proper thing is that inefficient services in the building up the utility bills. My lights are not as efficient & are wasting energy; The HVAC equipment is outdated & outdated, but even the plumbing is using more resources than it needs to. I started looking at examples of smart buildings & what they can do. It was impressive, the numbers were shocking & I was hooked on the idea, finding the right company to do the energy retrofit was frightening though. I had to find the right company that could basically tear my building down & make it work better. After a lot of research & talking on the PC, I found the company that I hired to do energy retrofit for my building. I mainly talked to a single guy about what exactly I wanted automated & how I wanted the building to function… He requested getting an integrated HVAC control system that senses when people are in their offices. It then will power off once they leave. He also stressed my lighting controls on a sensor & the plumbing to be totally redone. At the time I was nervous, now with the finished product I can’t guess I waited so long to update. My building feels new, modern & saves myself and others so much energy.
