According to the India Energy Security Scenario 2047 tool, space cooling is expected to account for about 45% of peak electricity demand in India by 2037.”
Commercial HVAC systems are essential for commercial facilities of all sizes in India. They provide a comfortable and healthy environment for employees and customers, and in the case of the pharmaceutical industry, they also help to regulate temperatures for sensitive equipment.
In pharma, HVAC systems are especially important for maintaining a safe and controlled environment. However, they can also be a major source of energy consumption costs.
According to the India Energy Security Scenario 2047 tool, space cooling is expected to account for about 45% of peak electricity demand in India by 2037. It's therefore quite important to optimize the performance & efficiency of the HVAC system. This reduces your energy costs and improves your bottom line.
Here are four ways to optimize the performance and efficiency of your commercial HVAC system and reduce your operational expenses:
HVAC and Modern Tech
HVAC systems evolve in parallel ...
... with technology. If you are stuck with an older system, you may miss out on the most recent improvements that improve performance and efficiency.
Modern features such as
 Energy-efficient compressors, fans, motors, pumps, valves, controls, sensors, and thermostats.
 Alternative energy sources such as solar panels or geothermal heat pumps.
All of these are capable enough to boost or even substitute traditional HVAC power sources, increasing efficiency and lowering environmental impact.
A few products of Climaveneta that work on the above modern features are,
 Geothermal reversible heat pumps: BWR MTD2 and BW-HT
 Rotor Inverter Chillers: RAV 105 – 370
Use Energy-Efficient Appliances
“When selecting appliances, prioritize those bearing the Energy Efficiency Label (EEL) or the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) star label.”
Your pharmaceutical facility's appliances wield significant influence over HVAC costs. Opting for energy-efficient appliances diminishes the energy demand on your HVAC system, translating to cost savings.
When selecting appliances, prioritize those bearing the Energy Efficiency Label (EEL) or the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) star label. These certifications signal adherence to energy efficiency benchmarks set by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Government of India.
Energy-efficient appliances consume less power, resulting in reduced electricity expenses. This choice not only conserves energy but also trims operational costs.
Schedule Regular & Preventive Maintenance
One of the best ways to save operational expenses on your HVAC costs is to have a regular and preventive maintenance (PM) schedule. This will help to identify and fix any problems before they cause major breakdowns, which can be costly and disruptive.
A well-maintained HVAC system can,
 Prevent breakdowns,
 Reduce energy consumption,
 Extend the lifespan of the equipment, &
 Improve the indoor air quality of your facility.
The specific PM tasks vary depending on the type of HVAC system you have, but some of the common tasks are:
 Changing air filters
 Cleaning coils
 Lubricating motors
 Checking refrigerant levels
 Inspecting ductwork for leaks
By following a regular PM schedule, you can extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and prevent costly repairs.
Install a Programmable Thermostat
"A study by the National Buildings Construction Corporation found that 40% of the energy used in commercial buildings in India is wasted due to inefficient HVAC systems."
How you operate and set your HVAC system, significantly impacts your energy bills and comfort level. One way to ensure the efficient operation of the system is to get a programmable thermostat.
A programmable thermostat is another great way to save energy and money on your commercial HVAC costs. It allows you to create customized heating and cooling schedules for different times of the day, week, or month.
For example, you can
 Adjust the thermostat as per your day/night occupancy. This can save you around 10% heating/cooling cost savings.
 Program your thermostat to create a vacation schedule. This will ensure that your HVAC system is turned off when you are away.
 Use zoning systems to control the temperature in different areas of your facility independently.
Seal Commercial Ductwork
While not mandatory, many commercial facilities opt for commercial ductwork to enhance their HVAC systems. Sealing joints and seams in this ductwork curtails energy expenses by preventing air leaks, thus preserving airflow efficiency. Ductwork leaks can squander substantial energy, spiking heating and cooling bills.
A study by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency found that duct leakage in commercial buildings in India can account for up to 25% of the energy loss. To address these leaks,
 employ materials like mastic, tape, or foam sealant.
 Or enlist a professional HVAC contractor for efficient sealing.
Sealing duct leaks is a cost-effective measure to enhance HVAC efficiency, thus trimming your operational expenses significantly.
