Compressed Air Best Practices - March 2009 - (Page 28) ® | 03/09 Focus Industry ENERGY MANAGEMENT | Project #3: HVAC Optimization BY THOMAS MORT, CEM Overview Reducing energy costs and pollution emissions involves many areas within an industrial facility. My studies have found seven (7) key (or common) areas where low-cost, practical projects can be implemented. Combined, these projects provide savings exceeding 10% of the annual energy spend with an average payback of less than one year. kW CO2 O Seven Key Sustainability Projects 1. Lighting 2. Demand Control 3. HVAC Optimization 4. Compressed Air 5. Metering 6. Heat Recovery 7. Project Implementation and Funding This month’s article will focus on the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) component of energy management. As you read this article, many of you may just be exiting this year’s long, cold winter season. It may still be fresh in your mind just how much extra energy costs are because of winter heating. Though I will focus on the subject of winter heating, these concepts also apply to air-conditioned manufacturing facilities. HVAC Optimization Project Objectives We can describe our HVAC Optimization project as an effort to reduce costs and energy for heating and air conditioning by improved control of exhaust air. The symptoms to help identify the opportunities for this project include: 1. 2. 3. The facility has a large amount of air exchange (air changes per hour) The facility requires heating during the winter months The existing ventilation system does not have optimization controls 28 www.airbestpractices.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
