As the environmental impact of buildings becomes more apparent, a new field called Green Building is gaining momentum. Green or sustainable building is the practice of creating healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance and demolition. Research and experience increasingly demonstrate that when buildings are designed and operated with their lifecycle impacts in mind, they can provide great environmental, economic and social benefits.
Bumler Mechanical has been involved in Green Building Design at many levels. We have been the HVAC designer for multiple Green projects. On a typical building, the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) can account for up to 70% of the building's energy consumption. For this reason, designing an energy efficient system that exceeds the latest energy codes and ASHRAE Standard 90.1 can dramatically reduce the energy consumed to temper the building.
A few of the most recent projects Bumler has been involved with that are obtaining LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council) are the following:
With energy and utility costs at an all-time high, it's vital to have an HVAC system that is both environmentally sound and cost efficient. Regardless of what type of HVAC system is currently installed in your facility, we can replace, upgrade, and adapt that system to best fit your needs, while accommodating your budget. We have the ability to make all of the needed replacements and upgrades with little or no interruption to your business operation.
For new construction, the cornerstone of efficiency starts with the type of system designed. It is influenced by equipment selection and a control system that optimizes the operation to keep energy bills low. Ongoing maintenance ensures that the original efficiencies are retained for many years.
Bumler's engineers are highly skilled and trained to give an accurate assessment of your HVAC system's performance efficiency or to design one from conception that meets your energy needs.
There are many new incentives available to encourage good energy performance. We'll help you take advantage of local utility rebates as well as state and federal tax credits that go right to your bottom line.
