How it Works
Our turn-key, as a service approach to central plant optimization, retro-commissioning and engineering delivers significant value in a way that’s never been easier.
How Optimum Energy Works
The first stage of designing or retro-fitting high-performance buildings that includes selecting super-efficient HVAC components like chillers, pumps, cooler towers, and VFDs. The initial focus is on setting up a foundation that supports optimization from the ground up.
Thoughtful infrastructure design that accommodates fluctuations in weather and occupancy, with components designed for efficiency across all operating conditions, specific to the client’s industry, location and other relevant data.
Identify essential design elements that contribute to efficiency, such as VFDs on all plant pumps, cooling towers, chillers, variable primary configuration for chilled-water pumps, and instrumentation for detailed data capture.
We move beyond efficient components to include central plant optimization, integrating a methodology that involves automation and optimization to achieve peak performance.
Building automation systems (BAS) and holistic optimization solutions work together to automate control, ensuring reliability and efficiency. Highlight the role of advanced relational-based control algorithms that determine the most efficient operation of the entire chilled-water system in real time.
We optimize the entire system rather than focusing on individual components, ensuring that the optimization is automatic, dynamic, and continuous for maximum efficiency.
The need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to prevent degradation in system performance and savings, including the use of tools that offer immediate, actionable insights is crucial. OptiCx can continuously monitor and verify that the system is running as efficiently as possible, and alert you to dire issues when it isn’t. All in real-time.
Continuous monitoring, measurement, and maintenance are essential for keeping central plant operations at peak performance over time, ensuring that energy- and cost-savings targets are met even as the plant ages. For tracking progress towards sustainability and other ESG goals, OptiCx provides a clear view of your systems over time, or down to the second.
Decrease your risk and move these projects off balance sheet through our as a service model, designed to alleviate the headaches that come with projects of this size and scope. Let Optimum Energy evaluate your existing systems, present a solution, manage the project execution, and fix any issues that arise down the line. As your lifetime partner, Optimum Energy makes attaining, maintaining and measuring your financial and sustainability goals simple.
OptimumLOOP® – How it Works
Who We Work With
Colleges and universities across the country face the need to renew aging utility infrastructure while addressing both rising energy costs and decarbonization goals.
Hospital executives and facility staff can rest assured that your mission-critical HVAC system equipment continues to operate, allowing everyone to focus on serving patients and saving lives.
Some of the biggest manufacturing names in the semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace industries rely on Optimum Energy to optimize energy consumption, directly supporting their bottom lines with significant energy savings and helping them improve the operation of their facilities.
HVAC systems account for as much as 65% of the total energy use in laboratories, data centers, and production clean rooms that power the pharmaceutical, life sciences, and medical device industries.
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.
Optimum’s chiller plant optimization software can significantly reduce your data center energy costs without compromising white space temperatures.
With our experience optimizing some of the largest and most complex district cooling plants in the world, Optimum Energy has a unique understanding of district cooling provider needs and concerns.
Technology providers have to navigate a path that aligns infrastructure growth and modernization with sustainable practices. Optimum provides the tools and the insights to strike such a balance.
