An economizer is a simple, elegant idea intended to save businesses moneyπ΅ by delivering cooling to their buildings with much less energy consumed and much less cost. In a nutshell, an economizer is a mechanical vent π¨attached to a roof top unit (RTU) that opens to draw-in outside air for cooling a building when the outside air temperature is cool and dry enough. βοΈ
βChecking economizers and louvers during routine preventive maintenance should catch and correct the most common failure modes before they happen. π
π£π₯πππππ§ππ©π π πππ‘π§ππ‘ππ‘ππ: Consider installing technology π‘ that can proactively identify and alert π΄ on economizer faults. With just a few data points β for example, real-time RTU energy consumption and outside air temperature β the use of the exciting #internetofthings and technologies to pro-actively send out notifications when a system is not working properly.
πEconomizers can save a bunch of money for businesses. No need to run the compressor to cool a space if running the economizer and the outside air conditions are favorable.
βοΈOn days like today, lets capitalize on these cool mornings and evenings. Save money and save energy. β‘π
