There is a lot of room for improvement
30%
energy consumed by US commercialbuildings is wasted
But what about buildings with a 90 Energy Star Rating?Still finding 10 - 15% energy savings
It all starts with visibility.

Providing visibility into equipment changes is hard.
CABA Study about IoT shows what facilities operators place highest value on when it comes to real-time data.Reduce Energy Consumption & Spend Application Value Associated with IoT
Transforming data into actionable insights. Across your portfolio, and drilled down to your equipment.
Improving BuildingPerformance
Unify building data across your portfolio
Collect all your building performance data to get a real-time, integrated view of operations, and drive improvements.
Share your insights with occupants and stakeholders
Engage occupants in conservation efforts
Make your business case for funding
Showcase accomplishments to executive management
Simplify external reporting
Leverage building data to improve performance
Use your historical, utility, real-time, and field data to find unnecessary resource costs, identify performance issues, and prioritize projects.
● Scheduling optimization
● Portfolio Drift mitigation
● Peak Demand management
Improve Performance: Scheduling
Visualize building schedules to understand and optimize performance
Prioritize efforts on the biggest outliers. Find the biggest consumers and peak demand charge contributors.
Receive notifications when demand or consumption exceeds a threshold. Avoid leaks and peak demand charges.
Improve Performance: Scheduling
Improve Performance: Portfolio Drift
Detect and stop operational drift in its tracksBuilding operational drift can undermine your efficiency efforts and investments.
Focus your efficiency effortsFinite resources require laser focus - the Portfolio Drift app lets you spot outliers which matter and require your attention.
Gain buy-in from stakeholder Quickly and easily show performance increases, or declines, from periods past to current across your entire portfolio.
Improve Performance: Peak Demand
Peak demand charges on your electricity bill could be as much as 40% of your total spend
Set up alerts for when demand approaches or hits your pricing schedules’ peak demand threshold if peak demand charges are in effect
Access and study past peak demand charges and events to improve future performance
Improving equipment performance

StrategiesReduce time for reviewReduce time to highlight major issues
Strategies for Proactive Reporting and Reminders
Daily- Morning Temperature checks- Energy Meters- Equipment runtime
Weekly- Audit changes in building operation - Setpoints, schedules, sequences- Switching from spring to summer or other seasonal
runtime
Monthly- Energy goals- Comfort Goals
Who makes the change, who verifies?
Equipment Schedules - One team’s strategy
Quickly verify BAS made equipment change based on weather and or occupancy
Morning - ReviewBuilding Tech - Notifies Energy Manager of changes and makes a note on the equipment
Energy Manager - Compares energy use of building versus prior day.
Weekly - ReviewEnergy Manager reviews weekly runtime of equipment and energy forspecific equipment.
Small changes add up.They review 3 - 5 Schedules a week, everyweek.
If building is suppose to run 9am - 5pm…
Why is Equipment Running 24/7? reduces equipment life to 25%4x energy expense
A building automation systemshould change based onweather and/or occupancy.
Often times this is hard to detect in energy reporting.
Equipment Schedules - Proactive vs. Reactive
Fault Detection and Diagnostics
audits equipment every 5 minutes frees up team, so teams can switch to fixing items and focus on whats important.
Fault Detection and Diagnostics
If you are manually auditing Building Automation Data, you team is missing issues.
Teams currently dig through raw Building Automation Data. Can you spot the issue?
Fault Detection and Diagnostics
Conclusion
Take Aways. Next Steps.
- Know what data you have , and don’t have
- Get the data you do have organized
- Get your main stakeholders engaged
- Agree on goals & KPIs -operationalize them
- Democratize energy management
- Find a friend
Fault Detection and Diagnostics
From high level to the exact time the issue occured, buildpulse helps your whole team walk through the issue.
