Objective:

The key to maintaining equipment integrity is to run it only when needed and only to the extent required to maintain comfort.  The unique data mining capabilities of Facility Framework identify the inherent opportunities to reduce energy and service costs, equipment wear and subsequent maintenance costs in all facilities.  These improvements also increase occupant comfort and equipment reliability.

Sample Opportunities for Optimal Operation: 

Data mining and processing algorithms are used to establish optimal comfort and energy baselines.  This provides significant reduction in energy, equipment wear and maintenance costs while optimizing comfort.  These algorithms are also used to predict machine wear.

               Fan and Pump Optization:  All fan and water pumping systems are constantly monitored and speeds are adjusted to reduce energy and maintain comfort.  Equipment start and stop times are varied based on inside and outside temperature requirements.

               Demand Ventilation:  Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of breathing.  Too much CO₂ reduces mental acuity and can cause health problems.  Monitors are placed in conditioned spaces and, when a high level is detected, outside air is utilized to flush the CO₂.

Free Cooling:  If the outside temperature is cool enough, and the humidity is acceptable, outside air is used to cool the space instead of using mechanical cooling.
