Energy Considerations for Buildings
Energy considerations for building operations which will help achieve facilities energy conservation and reduce operating costs, without decreasing the level of comfort in the building are: Janitorial scheduling.Elevator, escalator scheduling.Packaged units for computer facilities.Solar reflective window film.Maintenance Contract Review all maintenance contracts. Are they pay as you go, or parts and labor comprehensive? Consider rewriting the contract to include only what you need.Consider single sourcing all contracts, as this usually results in cost reductions.Do the contracts go out for competitive bid?Are the contracts longer than one year? Longer contracts usually result in lower costs.Ensure service people log on and off site. This is the only method of knowing if you are getting what you are paying for. Service companies, especially building automation companies make much money by charging for service hours, but not being on site. If you have this data you can insist on reduced contract costs.Explain Energy Efficiency
