As further efforts propel building owners to reduce energy use and dependence on fossil fuels, Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) is the answer. With inverter-driven compressors, these systems are up to 40% more energy efficient than traditional HVAC equipment, especially during partial-load conditions. This is due to their ability to accurately adjust capacity and energy consumption. Rather than using fossil fuels, VRF heat pumps provide heating by introducing ambient heat the outdoor unit extracts from the air or a nearby body of water. In the cooling mode, the system works in the opposite direction, with the indoor units transferring heat to the outdoor unit, which then rejects the heat. Energy-efficient VRF systems offer sustainable performance, reducing energy use and costs, and are designed for extended life cycles, ensuring long-term sustainability. #vrf #vrfsystems #hvac #wearevrfexperts #energyefficiency

#smartheating #controls #radiators #heating Myson Smart heating accessible to all with the Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls Approximately 40%, that is how much a typical HVAC system accounts for in the total energy consumption of a building. A significant percentage that indicates just how important HVAC systems are in reaching our energy and climate targets. If we want to create a better future, we need to innovate in that area. Smart heating solutions such as our new Unisenza Plus wireless heating controls help to create future-proof HVAC systems that offer significant energy saving benefits in both the short and long term.  Next step: smart heating  As buildings account for a third of the global energy consumption, they are an important focus point in our journey to reach climate neutrality by 2050. Improving the energy efficiency of our existing building stock as well as optimizing energy consumption in new builds can be done with, for example, better insulation, more efficient windows, etc. Once the building envelope has been optimised, it’s important to ensure a proper heating system in which the heat generator, emitters, and controls are all aligned to ensure optimal efficiency. That’s where our new Unisenza Plus wireless control range comes in. 

Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV) DCV is an advanced HVAC strategy that adjusts fresh and return flowrates based on real-time occupancy and indoor air quality data. This approach ensures optimal energy use while maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ), providing a balance between occupant comfort and operational efficiency. I. Core Mechanisms: CO2-Based DCV: Operation: Utilizes CO2 sensors to detect the concentration of CO2, which is a proxy for human occupancy. Adjustment: Ventilation rates are modulated to maintain CO2 levels within a target range, reducing ventilation during low occupancy periods to save energy while increasing it when occupancy rises to maintain air quality. II. Implementation Strategies: 1- CO2 Sensors Location: A. Strategic Locations: CO2 sensors can  be installed in areas with densely occupied spaces to accurately capture occupancy patterns. B. Zone-Based Control: Implementing sensors in different zones allows for targeted ventilation control, improving overall system efficiency. C. Return air duct sensor:  install a single CO2 sensor in the return-air duct of a multiple-zone system, and then use this single sensor to vary the amount of outdoor air brought in at the air handler. III. Benefits of DCV: 1- Energy Efficiency: A. Reduced Energy Consumption: By aligning ventilation rates with actual occupancy, DCV reduces unnecessary energy expenditure associated with over-ventilation. B. Cost Savings: Lower energy consumption translates to significant cost savings in HVAC operation. 2- Improved IAQ: A. Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of CO2 levels ensures that air quality is maintained, preventing the buildup of pollutants and ensuring a healthy indoor environment. B. Responsive Ventilation: Adjusts ventilation in response to real-time data, maintaining IAQ without compromising on energy efficiency. IV. Challenges and Considerations: Sensor Accuracy: Calibration: Regular calibration of CO2 sensors is necessary to ensure accuracy and reliability. #HVAC #BuildingManagement #SmartBuildings #EnergyEfficiency #IndoorAirQuality #CO2Sensors #BuildingAutomation #Sustainability" #BMS

In our Big Ideas-Customer Lens survey, we asked customers whether the cost of electricity to run their AC impacted their usage. 41% of those surveyed said yes, they consider costs and try to reduce their AC use. 26% of customers said that they need to use their AC so the cost doesn’t affect their usage. Either way, it's World Environment Day, so why not help your eco-conscious customers enjoy comfortable temperatures and save energy with these simple tips: ✅ Upgrade to energy-efficient systems: If possible, replace old, inefficient HVAC units with newer models that have high energy efficiency ratings and eco features. ✅ Schedule regular maintenance: Encourage your customers to schedule regular maintenance for their HVAC systems.

The question is who is paying the electricity bill? I came across this interesting image. It reminds of how buildings have cutting edge BMS systems that are scheduled and programmed to work perfectly, yet someone, somewhere has overridden that and suddenly they are surprised that they consuming THAT much power. With energy reduction taking centre stage in the built environment, one question that seems to slip between the cracks: 'Who is paying for the electricity bill' Another extremely important question is why are we consuming this much power. Simply slashing and turning down the heating, cooling and ventilation has massively negative consequences on the people inside the building The key to solving this problem starts by understanding your indoor air quality. That will provide you with the information needed to reduce your energy and increase it when needed. Yes, you heard it right, increase energy consumption when you have to. It is not black or white, it's continuously active strategy of decrease+increase = better indoor air quality+net positive energy savings AirRated #indoorairquality #iaq #healthybuildings #smartbuildings
