The Importance of\u00a0Saving Energy in a Facility<\/h2>\n

Saving energy in an industrial or commercial facility helps your wallet, helps the environment, and helps operations run smooth and efficiently. According to the United States Environment Protection Agency<\/a><\/span>, 30 per cent of energy used in industrial and commercial facilities is used inefficiently or unnecessarily. This energy loss can be a result of different components including: air leakage, slow open\/close cycles, damaged seals, and other unsuspecting energy wasters.<\/p>\n

Proud Leader in Energy Saving Promotion<\/h3>\n

Lenworth has been recognized as a proud leader in the promotion of energy saving<\/a><\/span> and efficiency in the industrial sector. Our high-quality products and educated team make us excellent consultants for energy saving techniques.<\/p>\n

Find out how to identify where energy is being wasted in your facility and how to become more energy-conscious and efficient with the five techniques outlined below.<\/div>\n

5 Energy Saving Techniques<\/h2>\n

1. Assess Damages<\/h4>\n

Energy is commonly lost or wasted in industrial and commercial facilities when equipment being used is damaged<\/a><\/span>. A common damage that drains energy is a damaged weatherseal<\/a><\/span>. A weatherseal is meant to reduce energy consumption by decreasing the transfer of hot or cool air from the exterior to the interior of the building.<\/p>\n

A small damage such as a tear or a hole in a weatherseal is the equivalent of having a one foot hole in your facility wall. If your building does not already have a weatherseal installed, look into adding an efficient seal for enhanced\u00a0energy conservation. A high-quality weatherseal can help:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reduce drafts from the outside environment
\n\u2022 Keep refrigerated goods protected from the outside environment
\n\u2022 Reduce energy costs
\n\u2022 Custom-fit to any door size
\n\u2022 Resist weather, resist punctures, & resist tears<\/p>\n

2. Troubleshoot Equipment<\/h4>\n

Industrial facilities that use sophisticated electronic programming are at an advantage \u2014 if the equipment is working efficiently. If equipment is running less-efficiently than it could be, it can be a huge time and energy-waster in your building. Low-speed doors are an example of a piece of inefficient technology that cost energy, money, and time.<\/p>\n

Installing a high-speed overhead door<\/a><\/span> can reduce cycle time from 56 seconds to 5.6 seconds<\/a><\/span>. This reduces the amount of unnecessary air loss from the facility. High-speed overhead doors can help:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Improve operations efficiency
\n\u2022 Reduce heating and cooling costs
\n\u2022 Reduce impact of air leakage<\/p>\n

3. Upgrade Electrical Programming<\/h4>\n

Technology has allowed for new energy-saving opportunities. Changing equipment over from manual to automatic can be expensive upfront and save money down the line. There are several upgrades you can make to your facility to help save energy long-term. A few easy programming upgrades include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Loops and motion sensors
\n\u2022 Automatic lights
\n\u2022 Control systems (better automation & programming)<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

4. Destratify Air<\/h4>\n

Air destratification involves the\u00a0mixing of the internal air in a building to prevent the formation of stratified layers throughout the building. This ensures that the air you are paying to heat or cool is evenly distributed throughout the building envelope. The most energy-efficient and easy way to destratify air is to install an HVLS fan.<\/p>\n

An HVLS fan<\/a><\/span> helps reduce heating and cooling costs by distributing air flow more effectively. Proper air destratification helps to:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Eliminate stratified layers of hot or cold air
\n\u2022 Increase building envelope comfort
\n\u2022 Reduce heating and cooling costs<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

5. Improve Building Envelope Characteristics<\/h4>\n

The building envelope is the separator between the conditioned and unconditioned environment of a building. A few ways to ensure your building envelope is up to standard is by upgrading insulation, installing secondary door curtains, ensuring doors close automatically, and assessing that there are no damages in seals, walls, or doors where air could escape.<\/p>\n

An air-tight building envelope helps with:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reducing heating and cooling costs
\n\u2022 Reducing air leakage
\n\u2022 Keeping the building envelope comfortable for employees
\n\u2022 Keeping the building envelope comfortable for products and goods<\/p>\n
