October is National Energy Awareness Month! ??? At B2Q Associates, we are committed to helping businesses and communities improve their energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. ?? Did you know that existing buildings consume 40 percent of primary energy used annually in the United States and 54 percent of energy used annually in Massachusetts! Our key services focus on helping our clients reduce their existing energy consumption to lower carbon emissions & operating costs. ?? 1. Optimize HVAC Systems – Ensure your HVAC systems are properly maintained and upgraded when necessary. Aging infrastructure and poor maintenance can lead to inefficient operations. ?? 2. Recommission Building Automation Systems (BAS) – A well tuned BAS helps control your building’s systems (HVAC, lighting, security, etc.) for optimal energy performance. Automating these systems and releasing operator overrides allows for real-time adjustments, improving energy savings. ? 3. Conduct an Energy Audit – An energy audit helps identify inefficiencies in your building’s systems and operations. By analyzing energy use, you can pinpoint areas for improvement, whether it’s updating equipment or changing operational practices to reduce energy waste. These small changes can lead to big improvements in your building’s energy performance. Ready to take your building's efficiency to the next level?
