HVAC Optimization for Commercial Real Estate
Today, large office buildings must balance the impacts of tenant uncertainty, rising energy costs and increasingly stringent regulations. But keeping energy costs low and achieving sustainability goals cannot come at the cost of indoor air quality or tenant comfort.
What We Do
Optimum Energy’s solution is control software that integrates directly with any building automation system to continuously reduce energy consumption. Because the building automation system is always in control, tenant comfort and air quality are not impacted. And Optimum’s vendor-agnostic approach results in software that is scalable across an entire building portfolio, independent of whatever automation provider or mechanical equipment brand each site uses.
How Commercial Real Estate Benefits
The OptiCx® platform dynamically and automatically adapts to fluctuating conditions to yield the lowest possible kW/ton, ensuring building systems achieve peak performance day after day, year after year. The patented Real-Time Dynamic Commissioning™ technology fights performance drift by detecting and addressing issues in real time. Sophisticated software algorithms and modeling techniques also produce a detailed, real-world baseline, which, combined with the OptiCx® Measurement and Verification tool, gives you performance data and energy savings results in real time. This allows you to quickly retool and reset when necessary.
Optimum Energy’s solutions typically reduce energy expenditures by up to 40%, helping you achieve university HVAC optimization and giving you an average payback between one and five years. OptimumLOOP® also dramatically reduces water use, further contributing to sustainability goals. Additionally, Optimum Energy helps reduce HVAC equipment maintenance costs and wear and tear by balancing energy use among all components.
OptiCx® advances sustainability goals and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% from baseline. Reduce emissions at the source as a result of running more efficiently, aligning your university with the carbon laws and compliance set to arrive by 2030. It also contributes to Energy Star ratings (up to 18 points) and LEED certification for both existing buildings (up to 24 Energy and Atmosphere credits) and new construction (up to 19 EA credits).
Optimum’s scalable, modular approach to energy optimization standardizes and deploys HVAC management best practices across an enterprise portfolio, regardless of building type, equipment, or BAS vendor. You can address one system at a time, within one building or across many facilities. Our centralized energy management system makes it easy to access the information you need.
