HVAC systems are responsible for up to 75% of your energy bill. Within Janssen (J&J) we studied since the early 90ties how energy consumption can be reduced. 5 easy steps leads us now to an optimised system only consuming 50% of a conventional system. 1) Define correct user requirements : the impact of set points 2) Use historical data to develop system requirements : define adequate ACPH 3) More technology is less energy / readily available technology reducing CO2 footprint : heat recovery, optimized controls and system setups 4) CFD and Energy modelling : makes you aware how HVAC works ( also after working hours) 5) Verification and follow up of the HVAC system : review trends resulting in lessons learned
