Calgary’s commercial building owners face unique challenges when optimizing HVAC systems. With temperature fluctuations ranging from -30°C to +35°C, identifying high-value initiatives that deliver measurable returns requires pragmatic analysis of current infrastructure against future business needs. Assess your current HVAC strategy and identify high value initiatives to design a future-proofed procurement structure that aligns with your specific business requirements while adapting to Calgary’s extreme climate conditions.
Before implementing any HVAC improvements, conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your current system performance. Purcell Heating and Air’s structured assessment process includes:
Energy consumption analysis comparing your building’s performance against industry benchmarks for similar structures in Calgary
Operational cost breakdown identifying primary expense drivers within your HVAC infrastructure
System performance metrics during peak demand periods (extreme cold and heat)
Maintenance history review highlighting recurring issues and potential reliability concerns
Regulatory compliance evaluation against current and upcoming energy efficiency standards
This systematic assessment creates the foundation for identifying truly high-value initiatives rather than implementing piecemeal improvements without strategic direction.
Calgary’s harsh climate places extraordinary demands on commercial HVAC equipment. Implementing Purcell Heating and Air’s comprehensive preventative maintenance program delivers immediate and long-term value:
Reduced emergency repairs with businesses experiencing 23% fewer unplanned service calls
Extended equipment lifespan by addressing minor issues before they cause significant damage
Energy efficiency improvements of 15-20% through optimized system operation

Calgary businesses increasingly rely on IT infrastructure requiring precisely controlled environments. Purcell Heating and Air’s specialized solutions for computer server rooms and critical spaces provide:
Temperature stability within ±1°C of setpoint at all times
Appropriate humidity levels preventing both moisture damage and static electricity
Redundant systems ensuring operation during primary system maintenance
Energy-efficient operation reducing the significant cooling demands of IT equipment
24/7 monitoring capabilities with immediate alert notification
Our comprehensive approach includes precision cooling system design, redundant system implementation, temperature and humidity control, airflow management solutions, and emergency response protocols—protecting your critical technology investments.
Implementing these high-value initiatives requires a structured approach that aligns with business objectives and resource availability. Purcell Heating and Air’s implementation strategy includes:
Conduct baseline assessment to document current performance metrics
Prioritize initiatives based on ROI, business impact, and implementation complexity
Develop phased implementation plan aligning with budget and operational constraints
Establish performance metrics for each initiative with clear success criteria
Implement systematic documentation to track outcomes and support future decisions
This strategic framework ensures investments deliver maximum business value while minimizing operational disruption during implementation.
To implement these high-value initiatives effectively, Purcell Heating and Air conducts a structured Activity Prioritization workshop with key business stakeholders involved in procurement decision making. This collaborative approach ensures alignment between HVAC investments and organizational priorities while establishing clear metrics for success measurement.
The workshop process includes:
Evaluating identified initiatives against organizational strategic objectives
Assessing implementation complexity, required resources, and disruption potential
Analyzing financial models including payback period and long-term ROI
Developing implementation timelines and responsibility assignments
Establishing performance measurement frameworks for ongoing evaluation
This collaborative process transforms technical HVAC decisions into strategic business initiatives with clear ownership and accountability.
