Assessment
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CONDUCT AN HVAC AUDIT OF YOUR BUILDING:
- To maximize energy efficiency and minimize loss.
HVAC systems use more energy than any other part of a building. Therefore, they have the greatest potential for loss and waste. An audit will determine if, where, and why the system is using too much energy and will let you know what you need to do to fix it.
- To maximize and protect the health and productivity of the building's occupants.
An HVAC audit will help to produce the best possible air quality for your particular type of business.
- To convince the owners to make improvements.
An audit of the system will produce exactly the needed evidence, by using all available sophisticated instruments, the needed data will be produced.
