By connecting Analytics to your BeMS we can monitor performance of your systems, identify opportunities for energy savings and makes recommendations accordingly.
About
The opportunity to improve the efficiency and building performance of HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) and their respective control systems exists in most buildings today. On average 40% of commercial buildings energy spend is consumed by HVAC. Of this, around 20-25% could be saved through no cost / low cost measures if they can be identified. This equates to between 8-10% of the total energy spend. Many of the challenges are typically attributed to BeMS (Building energy Management Systems) operating poorly. As buildings are continuously changing it is understandable that it is difficult to stay on top of every control strategy, setpoint, time schedule and ensure that the plant it is controlling, is also performing as intended. On average 40% of commercial buildings energy spend is consumed by HVAC. Of this, around 25% could be saved through no cost / low cost measures if they can be identified. At Optimised, we combine technology and expertise to address our Clients' needs by reducing energy expenditure whilst maintaining occupant comfort and optimal environmental efficiency. By combining independent consultancy experience with powerful analysis technologies, we are able to significantly reduce our clients’ energy consumption and carbon emissions with proven compelling return on investment through a managed service that minimises end user time and skill constraints with minimal capital investment and is non-intrusive to implement. We work closely with end user clients typically becoming an outsourced extension of their own energy team delivering a range of services specific to their needs. As a one stop shop we focus on clients needs whilst also procuring our services through FM's, managing agents and strategic partnerships. The powerful FDD (Fault Diagnosis and Detection) engine within Analytics is continually looking for inefficiencies and ways to improve the performance of facilities, reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions and increasing the life of the assets. Through the BeMS connectivity access to potentially thousands of data points enable us to have complete visibility of how a building is performing. The intelligent FDD algorithms monitor data 24/7 to identify ‘events’ (not alarms), if a heating and cooling valve is open simultaneously on AHU3 for 30 minutes a day it might be costing you, but its not business critical. Optimised Analytics has a library of FDD’s and new ones can be created and tailored to your facilities.
Key Benefits
The key benefits can be summarised as follows: Real-time data and historical trending from sensors, control systems and utility meters. Quickly identify equipment and operational issues that impact energy consumption and/or asset life. Prioritise maintenance activities by energy, cost and comfort impacts Compatible with most BeMS systems in the market today. Minimal capital investment and non intrusive to implement Optimised Analytica Lite enables quick wins on large estates in managing time schedules and set points.
Applications
Our solution is suitable for all Market Sectors with facilities that are looking to monitor and drive efficiencies within their spaces. Engineering teams responsible for BeMS today are not equipped with the right tools to ensure facilities are running efficiently and the larger the building portfolio, the bigger the problem. This is the problem that Optimised Analytics helps solve. It identifies issues, inefficiencies and poor operating strategies by providing a ‘trend’ of events over a period of time. This typically identifies around 90% of inefficiencies across most building portfolios.
