Anthony Buonicore, PE, BCEE, QEP, SRS Director of Engineering, provides insightful content describing cost-effective practices designed to facilitate a quick assessment of the potential energy cost savings that are realized when replacing existing building systems with highest efficiency equipment. This is particularly useful for the small and medium-sized building (SMB) Best Practices

Building owners evaluating equipment replacement options are increasingly requesting HVAC professionals provide an estimate of energy savings, carbon emissions reduction, and the financial impact to facilitate technically sound decision-making. While this may present a problem for many professionals, fortunately technology-enabled software tools now exist to meet this challenge. Best Practices

Today, energy professionals are routinely challenged by clients to do more for less, while still providing technically sound information to facilitate informed decision-making. This is particularly true for energy audits on existing buildings. Best Practices

The trend to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from buildings is accelerating and many owners are exploring ways to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by electrification. Unfortunately, the unintended consequences associated with electrification may not be understood. Best Practices

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology offers significant energy savings and superior occupant comfort by relying on advanced inverter-driven compressor design and the capability of providing simultaneous heating and cooling to better meet occupant needs. Best Practices
