The technologies available for today’s building owner can result in
significant
savings in energy
and a much improved indoor environmental quality.
Some of the more common technologies are: HVAC (heating,
ventilating, & air
conditioning),
lighting, glazing systems, control systems, & air filtration. Some
less common technologies
are solar, wind, and geothermal.
These various technologies can be broken down into the many
solutions that
may apply to a
particular project. Combining various solutions can have major
impact on the total building
environment. For example, in HVAC, an inefficient
package rooftop DX
air conditioning system
for an office building may be
replaced with a chilled water cooling
system with high efficiency air
handlers,
pumps, chillers, and cooling tower. Within these systems
we may consider
over-sizing
the cooling towers to improve the efficiency of the chillers and
increase the number of hours a
“free cooling” system may operate.
Combining this solution with, for
example, replacing the
lighting systems with
higher quality lighting with lower power
consumption and lower heat
generation
will reduce the size of the equipment now required to
meet the reduced cooling
load.
Tarian Solutions will work closely with the Client to determine
which solution or
combination of solutions will best suit their business goals and objectives.
