5 More Advanced Equipment and Facility Upgrades for Energy Efficiency

Last week we looked at energy efficiency and we spoke about the 5 most basic equipment changes to consider for energy management and efficiency. We had a lot of questions about more advance things changes that could be made and so we've decided to write for you again. Here are five additional equipment upgrades that can help improve energy management:


  1. Building automation systems: Installing a building automation system (BAS) can help you monitor and control energy use in your building. BAS can automate lighting, heating, and cooling systems to reduce energy consumption when the building is not in use, and provide real-time data on energy usage and savings.

  2. Insulation: Upgrading insulation in walls, roofs, and floors can improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Good insulation can prevent heat from escaping in the winter and keep it out in the summer, reducing the need for heating and cooling.

  3. Renewable energy systems: Investing in renewable energy systems such as solar panels, wind turbines, or geothermal systems can provide clean, sustainable energy for your building. While these systems may have higher upfront costs, they can provide long-term energy savings and reduce your reliance on fossil fuels.

  4. Power management systems: Power management systems can help reduce energy consumption by automatically turning off equipment when not in use. These systems can be used to control computer monitors, printers, and other equipment to reduce energy consumption when they are not in use.

  5. Energy-efficient roofing: Upgrading your roof with energy-efficient materials such as cool roofs or green roofs can reduce energy consumption. Cool roofs are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, while green roofs use vegetation to reduce heat absorption and provide insulation.


There are many equipment upgrades that can help improve energy management. Building automation systems, insulation upgrades, renewable energy systems, power management systems, and energy-efficient roofing are just a few examples. Choosing the right equipment upgrades for your building will depend on your specific needs and budget, and it is important to consult with a professional to ensure that the upgrades are installed properly and safely.
