Our Vision
When we first started our company more than ten years ago, the dream of doing more with less to accelerate the world’s transition to resource sustainability seemed far from reality. Since that time, we’ve grown from one customer to hundreds of installations across four continents, pioneering software-based HVAC optimization in the process.rnrnNow, having saved our collective customers enough energy to power more than 200,000 homes, and done so in a way that is financially sustainable for our customers and our company, we are living this dream u003ca href=u0022#u0022u003eevery dayu003c/au003e.rnu003culu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ernu003c/ulu003ernu003colu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eLorem Ipsum Sit Doloru003c/liu003ernu003c/olu003e

“By keeping the equipment operating at maximum efficiency, we’re saving money—and that’s what the optimization project is really about. I expect the plants to continue to improve and perform at a more efficient level than today. As we add more research buildings, we’ll need more chilled water capacity—we’ll definitely start off with optimization.”

“The monthly analytics reports are very valuable. They give us insights into potential problems with our machines—starting with overall efficiencies and then diving deeper into the details with things like approach temperature degradation on the chillers. We are also looking at how all that information trends over time—combined with Optimum’s experience from other sites, we get a different set of eyes and experience to help drill down into what the machines are telling us.”

“In 20 years of experience, I’ve never seen chiller optimization like this,” said Morlang. “It has more depth, it analyzes the system as a whole, and it uses advanced algorithms to adjust for the system you have in a holistic way. We’re exceeding our predicted savings, and I expect that to continue year after year.””
