Future HVAC Sustainability

This proposal will describe the nature of our project to improve campus energy efficiency, particularly in HVAC systems. It describes a method of saving energy through the use of motion sensors and smart thermostats. This method is thoroughly investigated by extensive research and coordination with ERAU. The investigation includes a tour of the Lehman Building’s advanced HVAC systems. We anticipate that the installation of smart thermostats will reduce energy expenditures for most campus buildings by more than 10%. If this proposal is executed on, it could set a precedent for future investigation into HVAC efficiency and future construction planning both at ERAU and other commercial facilities
