In commercial buildings with large amounts of equipment or separate offices that use a fair amount of energy, energy management solutions are essential. Building owners or managers may not realize it, but simple switches can make a vast difference in the cost of their energy bills. Read on to learn more about what energy management solutions are best for commercial buildings.
LED Lighting
Fluorescent lighting was a breakthrough innovation in electricity and energy management, shifting the industry from hot incandescent bulbs. However, since the introduction of fluorescent bulbs, LED lighting and bulbs have surpassed fluorescent bulbs in terms of efficiency.
Technology is always changing and evolving, and the electricity industry is no exception. Making the switch from fluorescent to LED lighting in a commercial building offers many benefits, including superior efficiency, less heat generation, and a longer lifespan, meaning the bulbs have to be replaced much less frequently.
Motor Applications
In manufacturing facilities, inefficient motors can result in higher-than-necessary energy bills. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are great options to consider for manufacturing facilities with robust motors. VFDs only run at the necessary speed required, which reduces energy consumption and wasted energy from typical motors.
Additionally, VFDs extend equipment life by varying frequencies in pieces of equipment. By using the precise amount of energy and voltage required in each application, VFDs reduce energy consumption and allow for advanced optimization across electrical systems.
