A clear HVAC System Means Lower Energy Costs

A survey to provide field testing tools for measuring the energy use of HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air cooling) systems has become commissioned by NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) and performed by the University of Colorado. The idea is always that HVAC system pressure drops and savings work.

Researchers have been working hard having a computer label of the sector testing tool in a number of ways such as the typical HVAC component sizes, if the Air Handling Unit and associated duct work is from the basement, garage, attic or crawl space along with the location by climate zone along with other considerations.

At this stage the research is graduating from computer model to full scale laboratory work, including individual HVAC components including cooling coil, filter, supply and return ductwork. This lab work has had credit and validation to the pc model.

Up to now the outcome have already been staggering, the pc model indicated that filter type could effect the power efficiency of an HVAC system as much as 5%, well not keeping your filter and and can get plugged up caused wallet whopping %20 energy-efficient loss. For those who have ac systems and allow coil choose more than one year between cleaning be ready for a 15% boost in energy loss. The most important energy waster with the bunch is duct leakage loss on both the production and return air ducts. A 10% loss was utilized as the reference but study's have showed up to 40% losses in the average home, this ended in a 45% decrease in energy.

Right now The university of Colorado is finishing their laboratory tests as well as the full report is expected to be released this season. The research when completed should include pressure loss, temperature, relative humidity and air-flow at multiple essential points throughout the laboratory HVAC system.

These studies has now proven that regular cleaning of most HVAC components as well as your furnace and ac systems has a major impact on the force efficiency in your home.
