  • Check The Radiator Inside The Units Insight: We know it seems like you shouldn’t have to do this, but make sure the radiator valves in all units are open and nothing is in front of them preventing air from circulating. Tenants will complain about being cold and these two issues are very common reasons why.

  • Educate Employees on Energy Management Getting your team on board with energy-saving practices is crucial for long-term success. When everyone is aligned on your building’s efficiency goals, energy savings become a team effort, which helps lighten your workload and make your job easier. Ensure Steam And Hydronic Heating Systems are Air-Free Air trapped in your steam or hydronic heating system can cause uneven heating and lead to efficiency losses. Check your system's air vents to ensure any trapped air escapes properly, helping your system run smoothly and maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the building.

    Co-Founder & President at Runwise - Helping make 6,000+ buildings cut energy costs, carbon output, and hassles. Formerly Co-Founder & CEO at Veri / Memoir (Acquired 2017, The Knot)

    Cool climate technology means nothing if it's not used by anyone. Over the last several years, thousands of building owners have adopted Runwise technology to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on energy. A lot of that adoption is thanks to the effort of my co-founder Michael Cook, who's also our Chief Growth Officer. The New York Real Estate Journal just named him an Innovator to Watch in CRE (I'll link to the piece below). From the piece: "At Runwise, we have created a “must-have” product independent of carbon impact, which has incentivized thousands of owners and operators to implement our technology. Now, our company is on track to be one of the largest reducers of carbon emissions in the US over the next couple of years and has been adopted at a national scale unlike so many other climate technologies in the real estate industry." Congrats Mike!

Smart controls can catch these leaks early, helping you avoid expensive breakdowns and save up to 10% on energy costs. Staying on top of this can keep your system running smoothly and prevent unexpected headaches. Claim Energy Efficiency Rebates for Easy Savings Don’t leave money on the table—energy efficiency rebates can offset the cost of upgrades.

  • Inspect Steam Vents and Steam Traps Steam heating systems rely on proper venting to function efficiently. In one-pipe systems, check your air vents to ensure steam can flow freely without building up excessive pressure. For two-pipe systems, inspect the steam traps to confirm air is being vented out efficiently. Performing these checks will help balance heating across your building and reduce tenant complaints about uneven temperatures. Calibrate Steam Supply Valves for Vacuum Systems Test the vacuum pump and calibrate the steam supply valve. These checks will prevent costly inefficiencies and ensure your system is ready for the colder months.
