CopperTree was hired by the client to carry out a standard Kaizen implementation on their building to better improve the HVAC system in the building and explore areas of potential savings and reduced emissions. The goal of this analysis is to help the client evaluate the different areas where either preventative maintenance is required or system optimization is possible, as well as retrofit measures in some cases.
The standard implementation resulted in Kaizen generating various insights to highlight areas of improvement within the building. One of the top insights generated was an Air-Handling Unit (AHU) continuing to heat while the supply air temperature was above the setpoint threshold. This causes the AHU to over-heat the unit and would result in more operational costs to the client as well as potential discomfort to the patients in the space supplied by the aforementioned AHU.
To overcome this issue, it was advised by Kaizen to closely monitor the heating valve control and ensure that it is not open when the zones being supplied require no heat. Despite this being a simple fix, over-heating from an equipment the size of an AHU would significantly increase the energy consumption by the unit and cause the client unnecessary reparations.
The solutions proposed by Kaizen would result in the following benefits:
