What is an HVAC system?
HVAC stands for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, which are responsible for the majority of energy use in most commercial buildings. They play a major role in keeping a building comfortable, healthy and productive. Ensuring your building’s HVAC system is running at its best can be a complex task, but the rewards are well worth the investment.
The benefits of optimizing your HVAC system
Whether electric or combustion-based, HVAC systems’ substantial energy use makes them one of the biggest contributors to your building’s carbon footprint.
