How to Achieve Energy Efficient HVAC by Identifying and Fixing Inefficiencies

This course for facility managers will show you how to achieve energy efficient HVAC by identifying and fixing 7 common easy-to-fix HVAC inefficiencies.

For offices and other commercial buildings HVAC is the single largest energy use, and there is often good opportunity to achieve large energy cost and greenhouse gas savings by optimizing existing systems.

Many of these fixes don’t require much investment, and you may be able to get large energy savings at low cost.

More energy efficient HVAC will help you contribute to your organization’s sustainability targets, cut energy bills and potentially improve heating and cooling reliability whilst reducing costs.

Who should attend

Facility manager working for a mid to large sized energy user, whether in government or the private sector.
