Traditional Operation
- Static schedules, manual overrides
- Frequent hot/cold complaints
- Hidden faults drive up energy
HVAC Energy Optimization for Commercial Buildings
Lower utility spend, improve comfort, and cut carbon—without sacrificing reliability.
- 10–15%
Typical savings from building commissioning (EBCx) in Ontario
- 15–40%
Savings from full HVAC retrofits or control upgrades
- 1–18 mo
Estimated payback period for most optimization projects
Benchmarks vary by building type, equipment, and implementation depth.
Step 1
Benchmark, Audit & Baseline
We start with a data-backed performance snapshot: trend logs, BMS exports, utility data, and site walk-throughs. From there, we pinpoint quick wins and structural opportunities that won’t disrupt operations.
- Trend & meter analysis (HVAC + whole-building)
- Comfort & ventilation checks (CO₂, humidity)
- Asset condition review & setpoint inventory
Step 2
Control Strategies & Scheduling
We tune and standardize control logic to match the building’s real demand. That includes dynamic schedules, optimal start/stop, and ventilation based on occupancy and air quality—so systems only work as hard as they need to.
- Optimal start/stop & night setbacks
- Demand-controlled ventilation (CO₂ / occupancy)
- Economizer & free-cooling tuning
Step 3
Continuous Monitoring & Fault Detection
We track KPIs and flag anomalies—like simultaneous heating/cooling or drifting setpoints—before they spike your bill. You get simple, actionable reports that tie every alert to a fix and a savings estimate.
- KPI dashboards & monthly reporting
- Anomaly/fault alerts with plain-English actions
- Persistence checks so savings stick
Operations Maturity
From Reactive to Data-Driven
Optimized Operation
- Demand-based schedules & ventilation
- Fewer comfort issues & alarms
- Verified, persistent savings
Common Savings Levers
Where Savings Typically Come From
Most buildings already have 10–30% savings available in controls and operations alone. We focus on measures with quick payback and minimal disruption.
- Supply water/air reset & static pressure reset
- VFD tuning, staging & lockout logic
- Economizer & heat-recovery optimization
