Maximising Electrical Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings

Caslec Implements Best Practices to Manage Commercial Electrical Energy Efficiency

An improvement in energy optimisation is key to managing energy efficiency in a commercial building. Not only does it significantly bring down the operating costs, but also reduces the negative impact on the environment. Commercial buildings are one of the largest consumers of energy in Australia and steps must be taken to create energy-efficient lighting, HVAC, and crucial systems using advanced automation, IoT, and building tactics.

8 Ways to Optimise Electrical Efficiency in Commercial Buildings

There exist numerous ways to efficiently manage electrical energy consumption in a commercial building. These are:

Enhancing Natural Lighting

You can opt for the installation of solar windows to improve the energy efficiency of the building rather than using incandescent bulbs or fluorescent lighting. By sourcing a high amount of power from off-grid sources and converting sunlight to emission-free energy, you can minimise utility costs manifolds. Furthermore, you should add skylights.

Get Rid of the Legacy HVAC System

Old HVAC systems, compared to the modern models, are not energy efficient. Thus, you need to replace them ASAP to cut down energy consumption and monthly bills. Furthermore, you can apply weatherstripping weatherising tactics to prevent energy loss and a barrier between indoor and outdoor temperatures.

Installation of Smart Thermostats

Autonomous smart thermostats take advantage of real-time weather predictions to manoeuvre the indoor temperature conditions. The equipment is connected to the HVAC systems and takes advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT). Moreover, a connection to motion sensors helps in adjusting indoor conditions based on occupancy level.

Modular Construction

You can make your commercial facility more energy-efficient by employing modular construction techniques. The method capitalises on off-site building strategies to boost the insulation and sealing factor of the structure. It also leads to less material waste and transportation emissions.

Installation of Smart Lighting System

The smart lighting system also capitalises on IoT and connects to motion detection sensors to turn on and off the lights based on occupancy conditions in a room. The technology can also be connected to the client’s tablet or smartphone, allowing remote control of the system.

A Planned BMS

An efficient and modern Building Management System is aimed at optimising the equipment cycles. It considers coolant temperature control, and air pressure, eliminating overlap between HVAC systems, assessing start-up and run times, economy cycle, and more.

Automation and Monitoring Systems

With the advent of technology, it has become relatively easier to take advantage of control and analytics solutions to increase energy efficiency in commercial buildings. You can install programmable interfaces, sensors, and switches to continue cost-effective operation.

A Proper Audit

You can minimise the wastage of energy in commercial complexes by carrying out an audit of things left running during night hours when they should be turned off or in sleep mode. These might be computers, lamps, copiers, fax machines, etc. A routine inspection also ensures the appropriate utilisation of equipment.
