Your HVAC system is an integral part of your building and business, but it’s no small investment. Not only do we all want to maximise the lifetime of our HVAC systems for the sake of gaining the most benefit from that investment, we also have a responsibility to ensure systems that are as sustainable as possible.
HVAC requires a constant water flow, calling for high energy and pressure efficiency; when this fails to happen, climate conditions inside might not be pleasant. A delicate balance must be struck between the need to ensure the longevity of our systems, and prolonging their life at the expense of greater energy consumption and CO2 emissions. New generation HVAC systems must be capable of combating the challenges of our changing climate without perpetuating the issue. Greener, cleaner, sustainable HVAC that’s long-lived is a lofty goal, but one Xylem proudly strives to achieve with every product created.
The Risk Of An Old HVAC
Nobody enjoys the prospect of working in a building in the summer heat without HVAC, or suffering the bite of winter cold without heating. Yet a functioning system requires frequent maintenance and the right tools to optimise it. Frequent updates are also required, not only in light of regular wear and tear, and the inevitable degeneration of a system that works hard, but also in light of the changing needs of the modern world.
Climate change has already had a drastic impact on temperatures and weather, putting more pressure on HVAC systems than we have seen before. The need to cope with rising temperatures, and the frequent occurrence of ‘one in a lifetime’ storms has taken a toll on the life expectancy of many HVAC systems. Systems that were expected to last for years to come are failing, while those purchasing new systems are demanding greater assurances than ever before concerning their capability to meet the needs of our climate as it continues to devolve.
Smart Optimisation For HVAC
Smart solutions might help you drastically improve the longevity of your HVAC systems, as well as giving you a reliable monitoring source to avoid service downtimes and other unpleasant inconveniences. The life of your HVAC system largely depends on your ability to secure optimal water and air circulation. You also need an optimal set of pumps that are simple, don’t require a great amount of maintenance and are highly reliable.
