Have you ever gone to a business and literally been frozen? This often happens at restaurants and coffee shops where the temperature control is pre-set or the employees set it for their level of comfort. Of course the employees are moving around a lot and stay toasty even in the blizzard they create by way of the businesses ventilation system.
Have you ever sat underneath a vent and the cold air blows right down on you and you have to move to a place where the airflow is not directed too you? This is quite common and occasionally a customer will complain to the management on hand about being frozen in their favorite coffee shop or business. Obviously this is not good for business.
One solution which will keep customers happy and comfortable and also save you lots of money on your energy costs is to audit the airflows of your business.
It is not as difficult as you might think. In fact there is a company that makes CADCAM software to do just that and even service companies which will come in and audit it for you. This might potentially save 10s of thousands of dollars per year in energy savings depending on the size of your business.
Flomerics is a Massachuesettes based company that makes the specialized software called "Flovent" and there are several other competing companies with similar products to help you save money and customers. If all the businesses did this the amount of savings per year would be incredible and this is surely something we should look into if we as a nation are truly serious about conservation of energy.
