Equipment & Appliances
The first step to improving the efficiency of the building’s existing equipment and appliances was easy.
The HBA carefully tuned the furnace and cleaned all the filters.
Next, the HBA installed a new Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) system and controls.
An HRV is a specialized piece of equipment that captures the heat from stale, outgoing air and uses it to warm fresh, incoming air.
The old water heater and refrigerator were replaced with new, ENERGY STAR rated appliances.
The refrigerator uses 21% less energy than the national standard. Learn more by watching the videos below.
