Like you, we are passionate about the environmental sustainability. By using energy more effectively and intelligently we can help in providing a sustainable environment in a cost efficient way.
Air conditioning, heating and ventilation can use a huge amount of energy. In fact, air conditioning can increase a building’s energy consumption and associated carbon emissions by up to 100%.
Pulse Project Solutions can help minimize these costs and advice through surveys, reports and payback analysis.
Luckily, there are some simple, low-cost ways to save energy and make your air conditioning system more efficient.
1. Temperature control
Make sure your air conditioning doesn’t operate below 24°C.
Also, make sure that you don’t have the heating and cooling systems competing with each other – it’s a waste of money. The best way to do this is to keep a temperature gap (known as a ‘deadband’) between your heating and air conditioning control temperatures.
2. Variable speed drives
Don’t produce more cooling than you need – this wastes money and energy. Variable speed drives can vary the output of your air conditioning system to meet your needs throughout the day. This will help you save money on energy costs.
3. Free cooling coils
Free cooling coils use the outside air as a source of cooling for air conditioning systems (when it’s cool enough). This saves money because you won’t need to use as much energy to produce cooling for the air conditioning system.
With the UK’s temperate climate, free cooling coils can produce big savings.
