Spring is the best time to service air conditioning and ventilation systems. There is enough heat in the air to take measurements to check the systems ahead of the summer season. The aim is to deliver a good indoor climate with the lowest possible energy consumption. In these corona times, it's good to know that there are also filter types that prevent the spread of airborne particles and organisms, such as viruses and bacteria. Here are some tips on what's most important to consider.
High indoor temperatures result in lower efficiency
Early summer is a time to enjoy the warm rays of sunshine outside and not fret about the air conditioning not delivering enough coolness inside. If we're really optimistic, employees can be back at work in May and June after a particularly stressful corona spring. It's important that everyone pulls together to get the work done so that companies can start earning money again. The last thing you need is employees with reduced concentration, fatigue and headaches due to high indoor temperatures. A thorough inspection of the air conditioning system before the heat sets in is therefore an investment in efficient employees.
Indoor climate
We spend ninety per cent of our time indoors. A good indoor climate is therefore extremely important for public health. Sufficient high-quality air and hygienic conditions in the ventilation system are key to achieving fresh indoor air. New filters, clean ventilation ducts and correct adjustment reduce electricity costs and improve the building's energy rating.
Duct cleaning and adjustment
After replacing the filter, it's time to check the ducts and supply/exhaust air vents. Regular duct cleaning prevents the spread of pollutants such as pollen, dust, fungi and mould spores, and prevents problems such as respiratory infections and asthma.
Once it is clear that filters and ducts are OK, air volumes and CO2 levels are checked at maximum occupancy. Adjustment of the ventilation system is closely linked to the use of the building.
Therefore, take the time to check the regulation, as this is crucial to avoid noise and achieve the best possible indoor climate with low energy consumption.
