To get started on your energy-saving journey, we recommend that you complete a 免费能源审核 that’s designed to pinpoint areas where you can save the most.
加热和冷却
- Heat 和 cool only in frequently used spaces.
- Set thermostats to lowest comfortable setting for heating (68 degrees); the highest for cooling (76 degrees).
- Reduce internal heat generation as much as possible during cooling season.
- Install locking covers on all accessible thermostats to avoid tampering.
- Minimize the use of strip heating. Disconnect if in excess of kilowatt (kW) per ton of A/C.
- Consider installing programmable thermostats that can shut down heating, A/C 和 ventilating equipment during unoccupied periods.
- 每月更换空气过滤器.
- Turn off all non-critical exhaust fans.
- When using an exhaust hood in food preparation, add control or gravity dampers to keep exhaust duct closed when it is not in operation.
- Sign up for a regularly scheduled systems maintenance program.
- Consider adding controls to shut ventilation system off whenever the building is unoccupied for an extended period of time (i.e.(晚上及周末).
- Make outdoor air dampers as airtight as possible when closed.
照明
- Turn off lights in all unoccupied rooms.
- Replace inc和escent lamps with high-efficiency light-emitting diode lamps (LEDs).
- Retrofit existing fluorescent fixtures with energy-efficient LED fixtures.
- Install occupancy sensors, which detect occupants in a given space, to turn lights on or off. (Good in storage rooms, break rooms, offices, restrooms, corridors, garage 和 dock areas, etc.)
- Replace or retrofit exit signs with inc和escent lamps with LED exit signs. This will reduce energy consumption 和 maintenance costs 和 increase the sign’s life to up to 10 years.
- 维持光照水平, establish a maintenance program to change all lamps 和 clean all fixtures at a predetermined time.
- Control all outside lighting systems with timers or photocells, making sure you adjust them to the changing seasons.
