Retrofitting Buildings for Energy Efficiency

摘要

The use of complete building energy management systems has transformed the industry. Architects, property managers, engineers and HVAC contractors have unprecedented information about their buildings and are able to use this information to heat balance and retrofit them for greater energy efficiency. The first rule of heat balancing is to recognize that every building is to some degree out of balance. Therefore, heat balancing is not something you do once and forget about; it is an ongoing and continual process of regularly tweaking the HVAC system functions to make sure that the building is running at optimum efficiency.
