Analysis and Evaluation For Equipment Performance by Surface Measurement

Many building owners and facility managers are deeply interested in both operation and maintenance costs related to a building's life cycle. Optimizing en- ergy consumption and obtaining long equipment activity requires sophisticated management. If the data needed for this management are unavailable, then measures must be taken to augment them. We were able to lower power consumption in heat source equipment by ap- proximately 12% by means of analysis and evaluations as well as using optimum measurement features that al- low measuring operation data without stopping opera- tion of surface measurement equipment. More cost-effective renewal plans and designs were achieved by proposing equipment specifications based on the cooling and heating load during operation.
