Heat recovery also brings significant economic benefits for building occupants. Introduction of effective heat recovery systems can lead to financial savings at various levels.
According to the Green Building Market Outlook 2021 report, the green building market, which also covers heat recovery, anticipates significant growth over the next few years. It’s estimated that the global market of green building will reach the value of 450 million dollars by 2025. For us it means that we have the job for tomorrow, but what does it mean for you? Certainly increasing competitiveness on the market, which results in decrease of contractor prices, but also a decrease in contractor quality. If money appears somewhere then people also appear there, they want to fight for the money… it’s a plague about which we are going to write about in the later part of the article.
How does heat recovery affect your spendings and your family health?
Returning to the economic benefits, which you will experience first-hand, it will certainly be a reduction in the costs associated with heating and cooling the building. Thanks to transferring energy between air streams, heat recovery systems can decrease energy demand to heat fresh air entering the premises. This translates into lower bills for heating and cooling and decreases the consumption of fossil fuel.
Additionally, heat recovery allows to decrease costs of building exploitation. Improvement of indoor air quality thanks to the heat recovery system can bring health benefits, such as decreased risk of allergies and problems with respiratory system. This leads to increased productivity and performance in places of work and comfort of living at home improvement.
Is a heat recovery system the key to decreasing energy costs in building?
Heat recovery can also bring benefits in the context of increasing costs of electric energy. Energy price increase puts a challenge in front of the building owner, related to control and reducing operating cost. Heat recovery systems can help with mitigating the increase of energy use and reducing the load on the electricity grid through more efficient use of energy.
An additional asset is a potential of repayable investments. Although the beginning cost of installation of heat recovery can be higher than a traditional ventilation system, energy saving and lower bills for heating and cooling lead to a faster payback of investment. Many users of building value long-term financial benefits, which heat recovery brings in lower costs of exploitation and bigger effectiveness of energy.
These issues lead us to the conclusion that economic benefits of heat recovery are inherent part of this solution. Decrease of costs related to heating and cooling, lowering the costs of building exploitation, saving of the electric energy, pro-health doing and a potential for payback investments, make heat recovery an attractive solution for investors, building owners and users. Financial savings in combination with ecological benefits, make a complex and balanced worth of heat recovery systems.
