Keeping the occupants of Hong Kong's prestigious buildings comfortable costs money... TOO MUCH MONEY, in many cases. For a variety of reasons, building services equipment often runs in an unnecessarily wasteful manner. For example, your system may be over-designed, and working harder than it needs to in order to keep your offices at the correct temperature and humidity. Poor installation may have led to ductwork leakage and the wastage of large quantities of conditioned air. Automatic controls may have been poorly set up at T+C stage (or, as is often the case, not tested and commissioned at all). Because the correct procedures for measurement and calibration were not followed, expensive BMS systems often act on the basis of spurious information, allowing plant under their control to operate improperly and inefficiently. But is it such a big deal if your designer was over-generous in his calculations, if your ductwork contractor cut corners, or if your T+C technician was inexperienced and unqualified? Does it really matter that your fans or pumps are running a few RPM too high? Yes, it certainly does! What many people don't know is that power consumption rises exponentially in comparison with the work that electrical components actually do. Therefore, a twenty per cent over-run on a fan motor might see its fuel consumption rise by fifty per cent! A thirty percent excess could mean that your associated energy bill is double what it should be. Add together the inefficiencies of all the pumps, fans and electrical motors serving your offices, and you might find that you are needlessly THROWING AWAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS every month. So, what can we do about it? Well, we can swiftly and scientifically locate and rectify the sources of needless energy wastage. By detecting inefficiency, removing its causes and pinpointing optimum equipment running settings, we can ensure that your plant and equipment continues to keep the occupants of your building comfortable, while at the same time helping YOU SAVE LOTS OF MONEY!!! And a final thought... Hardly a day passes without new headlines about global warming and the damage that our ever-increasing energy demands do to our planet. Wouldn't it be good to know that, by cutting out needless waste, you have not only helped yourself financially, but have also done something to HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT?
