Energy-Saving HVAC Opportunities

In the retrofit and upgrade of existing buildings we have experienced first hand how these three items make the biggest difference in cost reduction without compromising occupant comfort. Another often forgotten savings is the reduced maintenance from the reduced run time of more efficient systems. 

An ERU project now underway is anticipating more than a $ 51,000.00 a year payback. That payback will be generated by replacing an existing ERU without cooling (A/C) and installing a new ERU with cooling. The technology is now to a point where a payback can justify the upgrade of an existing ERU, an already proven energy efficient piece of equipment.
