Healthcare

In healthcare today, both energy efficiency and remote operational support are more important than ever before. Optimum Energy’s suite of energy-saving solutions can help you free up valuable resources for supporting your hospital’s mission of providing patients with the best care.

What We Do

In times of crisis, the combination of Optimum Energy’s expert team of support engineers and the ability for your staff to remotely monitor and troubleshoot your HVAC equipment from anywhere helps you prevent minor issues from becoming serious ones. This means hospital executives and facility staff can rest assured that your mission critical HVAC equipment continues to operate, allowing everyone to focus on serving patients and saving lives.

How Hospitals Benefit

Achieve constant peak performance and real-time fault correction

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.

Reduce energy costs, water usage, and equipment wear

Optimum Energy’s solutions typically reduce energy expenditures by up to 40%, helping you achieve 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.

Achieve sustainability goals

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 organization 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).

Scale within a building and across campus

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.

“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.””
