When it comes to commercial HVAC systems, a complete replacement isn’t always necessary. Retrofitting, or upgrading specific components of your existing system, can offer substantial benefits, both financially and environmentally.
Here are 5 Ways HVAC Retrofits Can Help You Save:
1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Upgrading components like compressors, fans, or controls can significantly reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.
2. Cost Savings: Retrofitting is often more cost-effective than a full system replacement, providing a quicker return on investment.
3. Extended Equipment Lifespan: By updating critical parts, you can prolong the life of your HVAC system, delaying the need for a complete overhaul.
4. Improved Indoor Air Quality: Modern components can enhance air filtration and circulation, creating a healthier environment for occupants.
5. Integration with Smart Technologies: Retrofitting allows for the incorporation of advanced controls and automation, enabling better system management and monitoring.
What Do Real Results Look Like?
–Walmart upgraded HVAC controls in over 500 stores, reducing energy consumption by more than 20%.
–One of New York’s most famous sky scrapers implemented a multi-year multi-system retrofit strategy that resulted in annual energy savings in the millions of dollars.
–Statewide Conditioning clients have seen reductions in utility costs by optimizing legacy equipment with smart VFDs, economizers, and building automation controls.
Smart BAS Makes Retrofits Even Smarter
To make HVAC retrofits make even more sense in terms of cost savings, Building automation systems (BAS) can be retrofitted alongside traditional HVAC components to further boost ROI. Smart controls let your system react dynamically to real-time demand, only using energy when and where it’s needed. For instance, the newest control sensors use AI to keep track of and adjust building occupancy in real time, adjusting airflow as needed or based on projected occupancy from previous trends. This type of smart solution delivers exponential savings over time as your BAS adapts to your building’s actual usage.
