The Critical Role of Clean Air in Facility Management

Clean air is essential in any facility for several reasons, including the health and well-being of employees, maintaining productivity, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. One of the primary reasons is health and safety. Clean air reduces the presence of allergens, dust, and other airborne particles that can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Additionally, it helps prevent illness by filtering out contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), all of which [...]

Ensuring Efficient HVAC Operations in Your Commercial Facility During Summer Heat

Maintaining the efficiency of your commercial facility’s HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) unit during the summer is essential to ensure comfort, reduce energy consumption, and avoid costly breakdowns. Routine maintenance should be scheduled at least twice a year, ideally before the summer and winter seasons. This includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting and cleaning coils, and ensuring all components are functioning correctly. Certified HVAC technicians can perform thorough inspections to identify potential issues early, such as [...]

Get Ready! New DOE Efficiency Regulations

The Department of Energy (DOE) in response to the climate crisis has increased the minimum Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) standard from 80% to 90% for all new heating and cooling units to move America closer to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.1 For example, a high-efficiency gas furnace with an AFUE of 97 percent creates 97 BTUs of heat with every 100 BTUs of gas it uses. The rest is typically lost to the outdoors and [...]
