Commercial Buildings

Commercial buildings together consume more electricity than any other single category of facilities.  Big or small, they need power for providing a safe and comfortable place to work, shop, recreate and eat.  As a result, power costs can be a major total expense component.  Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC) and lighting are the largest energy consumers in these types of facilities.  The bad news is all of these processes are energy intensive.  The good news is that by managing them correctly (ie: when they operate, how intense, how long) can result in significant savings.  Whether it is reducing the kWh consumed, taking advantage of time-of-use rate opportunities, participating in demand response or reducing peak demand charges, Powerit Solutions can help a facility to maximize their efficiency.  This solution can be financed by the savings it produces, paying for itself in 24 months or less.

An important consideration for commercial building energy saving is comfort.  In the past, energy efficiency measures were greatly limited due to the challenge of keep the occupants comfortable and productive during conservation actions.  Now, with intelligent energy management technology, it is possible to maximize savings while ensuring careful control is maintained over any impact to the building environment whether it is temperature, lighting or air quality.

Intelligent Demand Control, Intelligent Demand Response and the associated Energy Efficiency measures that result are all features that offer lucrative, measurable building improvement.

The Energy Director can manage the critical building control loads and more:

• Air handling fans
• Variable speed drives
• Pumps
• Chiller systems
• Packaged HVAC
• Lighting
• Trash Compacting

The Energy Director system is a team player, too.  It can integrate and communicate with any existing building controls automation systems to ensure the most efficient and cost-conscious solution is implemented.
