Whole Building Commissioning: Balancing Energy Savings with Creature Comfort

Want to save energy? Just turn off all the indoor perimeter lights and shut off the AC units in your office. Keep the heating on (when needed) and the indoor interior zones lit, but that’s all. There you go, you just saved about 40% of your “energy” bill! Congrats!

Oh, but now you want to be comfortable? You didn’t say that; all you said was you wanted to “save energy.” So, now you want to save energy AND be comfortable!

Well, that’s actually what Whole Building Commissioning can achieve….a balance of comfort AND Energy Savings. Come to this presentation and find out how this balance is attainable.
