HVAC
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning — the systems responsible for maintaining indoor temperature, air quality, and comfort in a building.
Definition
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) refers to the systems that regulate indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality within a building. HVAC is typically one of the largest single contributors to a commercial building's energy consumption, making it a primary focus for both efficiency retrofits and ongoing operational optimisation.
Why It Matters
HVAC often accounts for 30-50% or more of a commercial building's energy use, making it the single highest-leverage system for both cost reduction and emissions impact.
