Are your employees constantly having to get up and adjust the thermostat? Do areas of your office receive better air supply than others? Perhaps it’s time you look into HVAC automation. As technology continually expands, automation helps in several ways, including increased employee comfort and better building efficiency. Let’s look at the overall benefits of HVAC automation and how your business could use it today.
Improved HVAC Performance
HVAC automation is a great way to improve your HVAC performance. With automated controls (think smart thermostats, sensor detectors, etc.), your HVAC system can operate on a schedule that best suits you and your employees or other household members’ needs. No more running your system for excessive time or getting up at inopportune moments to shut off your long-running air conditioner or heater. Instead, your system can shut off automatically when programmed to. You can also invest in sensor technology to detect movement in a room and turn your HVAC system on whenever someone enters. This improves HVAC performance by prolonging its lifespan, as parts won’t run unnecessarily and are subject to fatigue.
A More Comfortable Environment
When the temperature is correct, employees are more comfortable and productive, which means they’re healthier, happier, and generally more inclined to work hard. Moreover, they won’t be saddled with constantly running to the thermostat to adjust the room’s temperature. This is effective as it increases employee productivity by cutting out wasted time and energy having to step away from the desk for no reason — especially when processes can be automated.
Financial Savings With HVAC Automation
HVAC automation can help you save money in the long run in terms of energy costs and maintenance. Fewer moving parts mean less output on your system’s parts, which means less energy is wasted and saved on your electric bill. In addition to this, HVAC automation cuts labor costs. If your system runs on an automated schedule, there’s less opportunity for your system parts to get overworked. This means you have less of a chance of your system needing maintenance. This, however, doesn’t mean the need for maintenance is eliminated. Dust, dirt, debris, and standing water can and still will accumulate in your HVAC system — so it’s essential to be extra vigilant.
