WHAT IS HVAC?

-Short for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The system is used to provideheating and
cooling services to buildings. HVAC systems have become the required industry
standard for construction of new buildings.

APPLICATION OF HVAC IN THE PHILIPPINES

-HVAC systems control the overall climate in the building. They also make the proper adjustments
whenever we experience changes in outdoor temperature. In hotter times of the season, the HVAC
systems regulate air temperature by providing the necessary cooling to keep the entire building
comfortable

- HVAC systems not only regulate the temperature inside the building, they also improve the quality of
air. The quality of air pertains to humidity, and a typical HVAC system will reduce the amount of
humidity in the air so your workers and employees can continue enjoying a cozy and pleasant
atmosphere at work.

WHY DO WE NEED TO STUDY HVAC IN THE PHILIPPINES

-teaches you how to install and troubleshoot commercial and residential HVAC systems.

5 IMPORTANCE OF HVAC IN TECHNOLOGY

1. Comfort of indoor environment

The importance of an HVAC system in commercial and residential buildings cannot be overemphasized.

The fact remains that fresh air is good for the body, and in commercial buildings, it helps improve
productivity. A good ventilation system helps to reduce the number of pollutants, bacteria and odor in a
facility.

Data analytics of HVAC systems helps in regulating the temperature of a building and lowering humidity
by ensuring that moisture in a building is kept under control. Good ventilation systems remove breeding
grounds for dust mites, which contribute to causing eczema.
2. Energy efficiency

Operating a HVAC system at optimum efficiency is a challenging endeavor. The number of set points,
levels and feedbacks of boilers, chillers, pumps, fans, air delivery components and more can cause costly
inefficiencies. Add to that the fact that weather variables affect the heat transfers in a building and
increase loads on the HVAC.

Data analytics will provide visibility into your HVAC system with sufficient accuracy that will help you
take corrective action and reduce the energy demands and peak load distribution of your HVAC systems.

3. Improve indoor air quality

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), poor indoor air quality is among the top
factors of environmental risk. Pollutants in the air can aggravate allergies and asthma in some people
and cause dizziness and headaches in others.

Air quality depends on various factors like people entering the facility, use of other equipment and
presence of electronics. With the proliferation of cheap sensors, air quality data is now being accurately
measured.

4. Preventive maintenance

HVAC systems often operate at suboptimal levels at least 40 percent of the time in buildings. This is due
to the complexity of the buildings, as well as many moving parts like fans, pumps, air-conditioners,
ventilators and dampeners.

5. Actionable insights

Data analytics provide essential insights to help with monitoring, controlling and maintaining your HVAC
systems. In the absence of this type of information, facility managers physically perform manual audits
that are inefficient and time-consuming.

With the advent of IoT, more sensors are being used in buildings for various equipment. The data
analytics out of this ocean of data can help determine the best course of action to take to maximize
HVAC efficiency.
