If your air conditioning unit is less than ten years old and still functions or is already an energy efficient model, there are other ways you can save on energy costs. Properly sealing buildings from outdoor air and insulating the building can add on additional savings to energy bills every month. The same principle applies to having HVAC system ducts sealed and insulated properly as well. Energy efficient windows are now available which help reduce energy losses. Upgraded lighting can be a huge money saver, since conventional lighting systems often create massive amounts of heat each day that air conditioners need to work non stop to cool down.
Selectively using ventilation throughout your building can greatly impact indoor air quality as well as save energy. Using window tints and cool roofing to minimize the effects of solar heat gain in warm climates, and alternatively using methods to increase solar gain in colder climates can help reduce the need for as much heating or air conditioning. Utilizing equipment indoors such as computers and printers which do not produce as much heat as previous models can help reduce the air temperature in office settings. Economizers can help bring in fresh cool air from the outdoors when temperatures outside are cooler than the indoor temperature.
