Most people may not be aware that HVAC design does play a major part in system productivity as well as energy savings. HVAC systems that do not have great built-in controls will be wasting users a great deal money. An example would be if the system is simultaneously cooling and heating different areas throughout a building. Not only is this counterproductive, but it puts a great deal of operational strain on any HVAC system.
The California Energy commission reports that properly-sized HVAC systems need to be configured in order to provide the necessary airflow that is needed to meet the calculated cooling and heating modes from room to room in a building. System inspections need to be conducted so when air pressure drops across the handler, it always comes in within design specifications that provide the capacity to meet these calculated loads.
Going beyond proper design, experts indicate that regular maintenance is needed to ensure the best operation. Therefore, for example, air filters need to be on a must-change per month basis. Periodic examination is also need to make sure that systems are properly charged with refrigerant and that the system burner operation and draft process is running properly.
