ENERGY MANAGEMENT
Comfort and energy usage are linked via your automatic temperature controls or energy management system. Comfort complaints can usually be linked to HVAC systems not functioning to specification, which also uses excessive energy.
It is a simple matter to compare current energy costs to a benchmark such as the EPA’s Energy Star Building criteria or Title 24 compliance calculations to determine how much waste is occurring. Read the chapter we wrote on energy management for McGraw Hill’s “Facility Design and Management Handbook” for more information.
