What are HVAC installations and what are they used for?

Proper design and maintenance are crucial to prevent the spread of diseases inside buildings, particularly those used for residential, work, and leisure purposes, where large numbers of people gather simultaneously.

These systems are characterised by implementing measures such as increasing ventilation flows, incorporating high-efficiency filters (commonly known as HEPA), and conducting flow studies in the supply and return networks of climate control systems, among other initiatives.

Essential measures to prevent sick building syndrome

Assessing the health of a building is not always a straightforward task, as symptoms often appear over time. However, it is important to regularly check certain factors to prevent major issues affecting the health of those who live or work in the building.

Some factors that should be regularly monitored to avoid a sick building include:

• Air pollution.
• The adequacy of natural light entering the building. Supplementing natural light with artificial lighting is key to avoiding problems such as visual fatigue.
• The state of artificial lighting, whether it is insufficient or too intense.
• The location of heating and air conditioning systems. Ensuring they are at the correct height to cover a larger area without causing discomfort to those nearby.
• The temperature in the rooms. Inadequate heating or excessive cooling, and vice versa, can pose a health problem.
• Room ventilation. Ensuring proper ventilation, whether natural (through windows) or artificial (through ventilation ducts), is essential.
• Poor acoustics.
• Irregular architectural ergonomics of rooms.
• Chemical and biological contamination.

How to reduce the economic impact of an HVAC installation?

One of the largest costs for any building is related to climate control systems. These systems account for between 30% and 50% of a building’s total energy consumption, as their operation and intensity often remain constant for much of the day, especially during the coldest and hottest months.

However, reducing this impact is achievable through investments in energy efficiency.

The first step is to conduct a technical survey on the current state of the building’s HVAC installations to identify which systems or equipment can be replaced with newer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly technologies. This will ensure significant savings on future bills. The next step involves implementing comprehensive energy management systems and, specifically, HVAC management systems. They enable us to monitor and control the installation, thereby increasing efficiency.

HVAC installations and emission reduction

The transition to more efficient installations also contributes to the decarbonisation of buildings in Spain and aligns with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and the Long-Term Decarbonisation Strategy (ELP 2050).

Highlighted measures include heat pumps, advanced monitoring systems such as machine learning, and the integration of management technologies that reduce energy demand. These actions not only promote sustainability but also ensure safer and more efficient buildings.
