The Hill Group Sends New Year Tips for High Performing Buildings

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Most of us go about our day taking for granted our comfortable indoor environment even when its 10 degrees outside… until something goes wrong!  When basic needs are not met, productivity plummets, driving up costs. Commercial building owners rely on companies like The Hill Group to avoid distractions from hvac system failures, plumbing catastrophes, and high utility consumption. The Hill Group offers a few tips below to consider during the cold months ahead:

1. Track your Data
   Good data drives better decision making. Data visibility across an organization will drive behaviors that can translate into efficiency gains. Studies have shown building efficiency gains of 2%-4% simply by making data and metrics visible.  More sophisticated data analytic software can generate utility savings in excess of 15% and identify problems before they get out of control. Utility dashboards and data analytics come in all shapes and sizes and are great tools for tracking how well a building is performing operationally and financially.
   
2. Buy Value
   In an emergency, response time is critical. Building a relationship with a well-trained mechanical contractor with the right tools and support pays off in efficient services and better solutions. Companies like The Hill Group leverage their field resources with professional engineering expertise to solve complex building issues. The end result is a lower cost and better long term solution for building owners. 
   
3. Plan
   Not many people get excited about funding a boiler or pump replacement. However, keeping equipment operational gets more expensive and increases failure risk over time. Developing 5 and 10 year equipment replacement plans will drive the budget necessary for replacement and keep the asset performing at a high level. Many utilities have funding available to help offset costs with new, higher efficiency replacement choices.
