Schneider Electric says its ‘smart’ Building Analytics service can evaluate energy system performance to identify elements that directly impact on an organisation’s ongoing energy consumption and equipment operation.
The company said: “Energy is typically your fastest-growing and largest controllable operating expense. To better manage budgets, you need to be able to uncover hidden savings in your healthcare facility to not only offset your energy spend, but also to make smarter asset investments. Heating and cooling consumes an average 30 per cent of a building’s energy. Easily overlooked during daily operations, HVAC issues may be resulting in unnecessary energy outlay, while simultaneously causing premature equipment failure and building comfort issues. Building Analytics uncovers and addresses these hidden faults, allowing the user to realise significant savings through HVAC system improvements.
“The managed service’s advanced visualisation and analysis capabilities help close the gap between information and fact-based decision-making. Our combination of big data technology and local facilities management allows customers to make data-based recommendations to achieve measureable return on investment through ongoing cost savings and optimised energy use.”
