Study Verifies Coil Cleaning Saves Energy
Although its known theoretically that cleaning a coil can result in energy savings, little actual testing data and research exist to prove the point. As a result, building managers often ignore or reduce resources devoted to air-handler maintenance when faced with budget constraints. If proper maintenance is an important consideration in overall energy costs, conserving in that budget area can be self defeating.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, Vol. 48, Nov. 2006, pp. 34-36
