If you receive hot and/or cold complaints from your tenants, chances are you are also using too much energy.
Keeping tenants happy usually means making an adjustment to your HVAC systems. This can be a simple set point adjustment from your computerized Building Management System (BMS), or a costly request for service from your HVAC vendor.
But how do you know if this is a systemic problem or just a one-time occurrence? How much energy is being wasted on over cooling or heating the space?
Identifying HVAC equipment problems can be complex. Not only do you need the proper instrumentation in place, you’ll also need someone to make sense of the data. If the temperature is too high, should the refrigerant pressure be lower…higher…what about the current draw of the unit, is that normal…too high…too low? And what about the weather how does this affect sensor readings? What if I don’t have instrumentation that I can see? ...blah...blah...blah...
Good news...
With today’s technology, getting the data you need delivered straight to your Smartphone is easier than ever. Presented in clear language you’ll understand, with the steps you need to take spelled out for you. All without having to upgrade or install a complex and expensive computerized BMS.
Today, wireless sensors can be installed as needed to monitor problem areas or systems. These sensors don’t need to connect to a BMS, they can talk directly to you. They can let you know what is happening and why.
