This article details the practices retail spaces can use to lower energy consumption and electricity bills. I found this particular article very interesting due to the new knowledge it gave me. It details, the problem with retail lighting and how T8 flourescent light bulbs, fixtures and LED replacement lamps can be of great help to saving energy in your retail spaces. It details, HVAC energy usage in retail spaces and certain things you can implement in order to aid your HVAC system, such as ADECs, DCV, EVC. ADEC, short for advanced digital economizer controls, are used to control how much outside air is being let inside buildings and implements Fault Detection & Diagnostics for performance updates. DCV, also known as demand control ventilation, changes the amount of air your system pumps depending on need. And lastly, EVC, enhanced ventilation control, varies the speed of blowers used for air circulation to provide only the specific amount needed to heat or cool buildings. I would not have known of any of these resourceful tools if it weren't for this artifact.
