Construction projects differ in complexity and design from region to region since different places\u00a0a different\u00a0sets of codes. This difference in codes is not only due to\u00a0the presence of\u00a0a system within the\u00a0region\u00a0but also due to the atmospheric conditions. Many countries develop, adapt, and follow a system in construction considering its geography, history, and nature of the land and surrounding atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Countries like Saudi Arabia follow their set standard of construction codes that they implement to the full.\u00a0And any contractor firm\u00a0including\u00a0Wafaiyah\u00a0have it a mandatory practice to\u00a0ensure that their team follows these codes.\u00a0HVAC systems are a\u00a0common\u00a0part of an MEP project and system\u00a0and\u00a0they have to operate through those set standards and codes. Energy efficiency is another\u00a0key\u00a0step in this lineup\u00a0and\u00a0HVAC systems must be energy-efficient, especially within the KSA. For this, the need of the hour is to have an energy-efficient HVAC system. Below, we highlight some key ways you can make your system energy-efficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first step or the first move you can make is to do something with your existing HVAC system. The best practice always is to have faith in whatever you have and decide how\u00a0you can\u00a0improve it. HVAC systems have two\u00a0basic\u00a0features, which\u00a0are,\u00a0heating and cooling. For this, you can begin by monitoring these two services. Replacing some of the components can do the trick significantly for you.\u00a0For example, you can\u00a0simply\u00a0replace the\u00a0compressor,\u00a0and\u00a0condenser fan\u00a0controls,\u00a0and add air-side economizers within the system that will\u00a0make use of\u00a0the cool air outside.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If minor tweaks do not work well, there is always a plan B that can come into existence. But plan B in most complex works\u00a0such\u00a0as the HVAC\u00a0system\u00a0can purchase a new HVAC system. HVAC systems are a network of extreme complexities and a structure that is difficult to understand. Hence, when\u00a0you find that\u00a0making minor tweaks does not bore or sound like giving you better results,\u00a0simply\u00a0look to replace the old HVAC system with a new one. However, always check for high energy efficiency units with high energy star ratings alongside high SEER since they adhere to strict energy efficiency guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Upon several research and inspections alongside investigations, it has\u00a0been found\u00a0that most energy\u00a0is consumed\u00a0to level up the temperature of an indoor space significantly over time.\u00a0This\u00a0is the case only when there is a loophole within the system. Most spaces lack proper insulation\u00a0causing\u00a0temperature and air inside a space to move out and leave a gap at the back of the temperature drop. This drop\u00a0then\u00a0causes more energy to\u00a0be consumed\u00a0than initially planned to ensure that the temperature inside the space\u00a0is maintained\u00a0to the requirement.\u00a0To combat this,\u00a0all you need to do is\u00a0inspect for loopholes\u00a0such\u00a0as open regions and spaces, and then\u00a0simply\u00a0block and cover them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Air\u00a0is planned\u00a0to enter any space through a duct system\u00a0that\u00a0is\u00a0laid\u00a0at perfect locations. The purpose of a duct is to ensure that air\u00a0is constantly pumped\u00a0into the system. However, in most cases, it has been reported that the air pumped\u00a0is not entirely received\u00a0into the space or the space is not receiving air as it should be.\u00a0Enhanced inspections then show\u00a0that there are\u00a0possible leakages within the duct system\u00a0that\u00a0cause air to leak out before it even moves into the space.\u00a0Hence, the air is not reaching the space entirely and\u00a0is suffering\u00a0leakage along the duct.\u00a0To prevent this, duct systems\u00a0need to\u00a0be revamped\u00a0through adequate sealing along the ducts.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Programmable controls and thermostats are becoming a norm in the\u00a0world of HVAC\u00a0since they play a significant role in\u00a0energy efficiency balancing.\u00a0The purpose of an HVAC system is to have an ideal temperature inside a space\u00a0but\u00a0it\u00a0will continue to do so if instructed to be smart enough. In other words, your system must be self-sufficient to ensure that it consumes less energy when there is no need to work at high pressure and energy.\u00a0For example, during the\u00a0day\u00a0when there is no requirement to have air-conditioning or heating at\u00a0full\u00a0capacity, the system must be efficient enough\u00a0to not use high energy\u00a0at that time of the day.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

HVAC systems pump air into a space and use adequate suction techniques to suck the impure air\u00a0so\u00a0fresh air remains within a space.\u00a0This\u00a0happens through ducts that\u00a0are covered\u00a0by filters at the ends.\u00a0But what use these ducts and an adequate system can be if\u00a0there are\u00a0debris, pollutants, and impurities struck at the filters along the duct openings?\u00a0This\u00a0will require your system to pump extra effort by consuming more energy to input fresh air and suck out the impure air.

Taking help from other sources is never a bad idea\u00a0instead\u00a0they will contribute significantly to an HVAC system\u2019s energy consumption. During hot days in the summer, as is the case during most parts of the year in Saudi Arabia, it is efficient to make full use of curtains and blinds over windows. What this does best is that it ensures that most of the heat from the sun is blocked from entering a space and thus helps less energy to\u00a0be consumed\u00a0to keep the temperatures pleasant within a space.

The setting of your thermostat is another\u00a0key\u00a0factor in deciding how efficiently your HVAC system will\u00a0be working or not. For example, you have to set your thermostat to any value\u00a0according\u00a0to which it will ensure how effectively your system has to work. The best practice is to set the thermostat close to the external temperature. This way, your HVAC system will have to work less effectively and thus consume less energy to keep the temperature inside the space at optimal conditions. And this is the reason why having a programmable thermostat is considered the most effective and money-saving idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
