One common reason why commercial HVAC systems often operate inefficiently is that members of staff frequently tamper with the controls. This can lead to staff members changing the system to work inefficiently leading to increased energy consumption and extra strain on your system.
Multiple staff members might be adjusting the controls meaning that the HVAC is constantly changing how it operates. While they may wish to adjust the HVAC settings for their own comfort, it can become problematic. Educating your staff about how to use the HVAC control settings, and who can and who can’t operate it will help you use your system more efficiently.
Staff education isn’t just about how the HVAC system is used. They can also be encouraged to close blinds to keep out direct sunlight and shut outside doors while the HVAC system is working.
