Heating and cooling dominate the energy consumption of typical commercial facilities. Commercial Air Control partners with several energy efficiency companies and utility providers to perform comprehensive assessment of energy usage in most types of commercial establishment. Our specialty is HVAC infrastructure performance assessment within the context of a comprehensive Energy Usage Analysis (EUA) for the entire facility. Our HVAC infrastructure assessment covers the following aspects:

• Air Handling Unit (AHU) Condition Assessment
• Air Distribution Condition Assessment, covering components like ducts, filters, registers, grills, and diffusers
• Central Plant Condition Assessment, covering roof top units, boilers, chillers, condensers, cooling towers and pump systems
• Prevailing load calculations, controls, and balancing

CAC has developed a strategic tool and proven procedure for comprehensive performance assessment of your entire HVAC infrastructure from the central plant to the conditioned space. At the end of our assessment we deliver to the facility manager a report that includes:

Inventory, Condition, and Performance Assessment:

• An inventory and condition of the HVAC infrastructure components serving the building
• Comparative analysis of energy performance with similar facilities and ASHRAE benchmarks

Energy Savings Analysis:

• Simple set point adjustments and control strategies designed to save energy while matching the prevailing air conditioning requirements
• A list of recommended energy savings measures
• Monetization of the yearly energy savings resulting from each measure or combination of measures
• Available utility incentives to support implementation of recommended measures and upgrades

Risk Assessment and Upgrade Scenarios:

• A prioritization of the highest risk equipment
• Monetization of the impact of failure/downtime
• Budget estimates for upgrades or replacement of deteriorated or inefficient equipment
• Life-cycle cost comparison of retaining deteriorated and inefficient equipment vs upgrades and replacements
