How to Reduce Commercial Energy Usage

These recent days, we are going through some real problems such as an increase in energy usage. Also, when it comes to solving these problems, people cannot really think of the solutions. Hence, we are here to provide the solutions on How to Reduce Commercial Energy Usage.

Thus, here are some tips to reduce energy usage:

Equipment functioning should be checked

The equipment functioning should be regularly checked now and then. There should be a proper check of the equipment, and even it should be double-checked. This can also lead to the improvement of the equipment in commercial settings.

Increase in Usage Air Compressors

Air compressors are one of the best solutions to reduce energy reduction. The drive motor is the main element of the air compressor. And, the latest systems allow for these drives to use a change in frequency that reduces the power that the drive is requesting (depending on load).

Plant and Trees Outside Your Commercial Property

Plants and trees must be planted on the south and east sides of your commercial building. These plants and trees will provide proper shade in the summer, which leads to a reduction in the cooling load, and will allow sunlight to enter your building in the winter, reducing the heating load as well.

Update the Regular Lighting to Modern Technology Lighting

If you have old and outdated lighting LED lighting can make a quick, moving impact on your energy consumption. Converting your old lighting to LED lighting may result in a decrease of up to 60% of the electrical costs of your daily lighting energy consumption.  LED lighting also has some additional benefits such as less heat generation that results in reducing your air conditioning load as well as reducing your maintenance costs as well.

Install Energy Effective Practices

Getting your employees to participate in energy-saving rituals is an effective way to help decrease energy expenses. You can also create incentives or competitions to check how low a commercial property can get their average energy to spend per month is quite an innovative way to boost employees toward saving energy.

Conclusion

Hence, these were some of the tips on How to Reduce Commercial Energy Usage and specifically when you can just change certain lifestyle habits. Thus, you can just introduce these tips as rituals in your commercial property to reduce energy usages very effectively.

Differentiating Class A, B, and C Office Space

 

Many of our members take the time to complete projects using the County Codes that are in place, While there are so many companies that cut corners or a Management company that looks at prices we have to ask? How do you Value the Buildings you manage?

We have one of the Top Condo, HOA and Property Management Directories in Florida. Through the many Categories clients can find only the Best of the Best to have their maintenance requests performed on time, up to Code in their buildings and properties from Jacksonville to the Keys.

Search our Directory

When only the best will do, Find companies all over Florida ready to help you!

Remember: “Skilled labor isn’t cheap; cheap labor isn’t skilled”. by James Terry of GreenTeam Service Corp.

 

Office buildings are generally classified into one of three categories: Class A, Class B, or Class C. Standards vary by market, and each category is defined in relation to its counterparts. Building classification allows a user to differentiate buildings and rationalize market data — that said, classification is an art, not a science. While a definitive formula for each class does not exist, the general characteristics are as follows:

Class A
These buildings represent the newest and highest quality buildings in their market. They are generally the best looking buildings with the best construction, and possess high-quality building infrastructure. Class A buildings also are well located, have good access, and are professionally managed. As a result of this, they attract the highest quality tenants and also command the highest rents.

Class B
This is the next notch down. Class B buildings are generally a little older, but still have good quality management and tenants. Oftentimes, value-added investors target these buildings as investments since well-located Class B buildings can be returned to their Class A glory through renovations such as facade and common area improvements. Class B buildings should generally not be functionally obsolete and should be well maintained.

Class C
The lowest classification of office building and space is Class C. These are older buildings and are located in less desirable areas and are often in need of extensive renovation. Architecturally, these buildings are the least desirable, and building infrastructure and technology is outdated. As a result, Class C buildings have the lowest rental rates, take the longest time to lease, and are often targeted as re-development opportunities.

The above is just a general guideline of building classifications. No formal standard exists for classifying a building. Buildings must be viewed in the context of their sub-market; i.e., a Class A building in one neighborhood may not be a Class A building in another.

What you can’t see is often more important than what you can.

What you can’t see is often more important than what you can.

When talking about people we often say it’s what is on the inside that counts, well the same can be said for condominiums. What you can’t see is often more important than what you can.

Many associations came about when developers converted apartment buildings into condos. Others in south Florida are just getting old and while it might not always be obvious on the outside a look inside the walls, under the slab or in the elevator equipment room will give you a better picture of the problems that lurk beneath the surface. All of these things have useful life’s and tend to wear out over time.
