A facility’s mechanical system can be among its largest energy users.  Often, these systems also offer the greatest opportunity for improvement. With the new systems and technologies available today, it is often possible to reduce energy costs while also improving conditions.  Casolari & Associates can provide:

• System Evaluation and Selection

Casolari & Associates will evaluate your existing systems and available technologies to determine the most appropriate heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and plumbing systems for your facility.  The evaluation will consider current building codes and best practices and will include a full  life cycle cost analysis.  We will consider first cost, energy cost, and maintenance costs along with reliability and volume pricing opportunities.
 

• Installation Management

When it comes time to install new systems, or to upgrade existing systems, Casolari & Associates can supervise mechanical system installation. Once installation is complete, we will perform acceptance tests and commission the systems to ensure proper installation and operation.
 

• HVAC Performance Evaluation

Even existing HVAC systems that are reliably providing acceptable indoor conditions might offer opportunities for improved efficiency.  Often, minor upgrades and simple control adjustments can yield significant savings.
 

• HVAC Maintenance Evaluation

Casolari & Associates can evaluate your HVAC maintenance program to identify improvements that will reduce operating costs, improve comfort, and extend equipment life. We can prepare detailed maintenance guides for each system and, where appropriate, even help implement a computerized maintenance management system.
