FAQs - Energy consumption and air handling units
Why should I be concerned with the energy costs of my HVAC system?
The answer is obvious: HVAC systems are often one of the biggest energy guzzlers in buildings, and inefficient systems can drive up operating costs considerably. By precisely analyzing and optimizing energy costs, you can not only achieve considerable financial savings, but also reduce the ecological footprint. An efficiently operated HVAC system therefore makes a decisive contribution to profitability and sustainability.
What role do air filters play in the energy efficiency of an HVAC system?
With energy costs accounting for 80 % of the total operating costs of an air filter, high-quality air filters are crucial for the energy efficiency of an HVAC system. They prevent dirt and dust from entering the systems and impairing their performance. Clogged or inferior filters increase the resistance in the air flow, which significantly increases the energy consumption of the fans and therefore increases operating costs. Regular maintenance and the use of high-quality filters can improve the efficiency of the system, reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of the devices.
