Energy and Production Benefits

The location and age of your facility, past and current maintenance practices as well as production activities all play a roll in the indoor air quality within your building.
Hygienic conditions of the mechanical equipment and internal building surfaces can also be effected by a variety of other related concerns.

One thing has been proven, it requires more energy dollars to operate a dirty ventilation system than a clean one. Fan blowers and heating and cooling coils that are soiled, limit the mechanical systems ability to meet the desired demands of the building occupant effectively. The result is reduced efficiency of the air conveyance system and a reduction in life expectancy of various mechanical components. Duct work that has accumulated dusts, pollens, mold spores, deteriorated internal fiberglass duct liners can also reduce the efficiency of conveying air to the building occupant.

In addition, a dirty ventilation system can effect the production levels of the companies employees. One being directly related to missed (employee absenteeism) or reduced employee production. The following example will better explain how a contaminated system can affect cost from absenteeism or loss of production time.

If you own a business that occupies a 100,000 square foot building and employ 350 employees, the following example can demonstrate how furnishing quality indoor air could represent significant cost savings:

Example:
Average yearly employee salary = 30,000.00
Average accumulated yearly salary = 10,500,000.00
Average yearly absenteeism rate = 2%

2% of 10,500,000.00 is 210,000.00

Even if this figure (2%) were to be reduced by half, you would still recognize a $105,000.00 savings. This does not even take into account the extra energy required to run a dirty contaminated system.
Ductworks, Inc. can help locate contamination sources, implement recommendations to reduce or eliminate the contaminants and mitigate the damage already occurring in the facility.
