The real cost of air conditioning

摘要

Air conditioning systems can devour more electricity than anything else in commercial premises, but how can you measure and control these costs? The single biggest consumer of energy in a typical UK commercial building is the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Over an average year, the air conditioning system alone could guzzle more electricity than a building's annual heating bill, all the PCs and office equipment combined, or two or three times the amount of energy used by the building's entire lighting system. Fortunately, help is at hand through a revolutionary new intelligent manifold that produces instant reports on exacdy how energy efficient the air conditioning system is.
