Read MoreThanks to our digital solutions, buildings can come “alive”. OpenBlue Enterprise Manager lets you optimize building outcomes and achieve impactful sustainability. Amongst other things, our comprehensive suite of apps monitor and improve energy efficiency, reporting and can predict energy demand and consumption. We can monitor and report on water and other utilities. Every aspect of your assets and systems performance can be continually evaluated with 24/7 data driven closed loop preventative maintenance. All this leads to energy savings and improved IAQ recommendations. Leading to cost savings, tenant satisfaction, asset performance, and ultimately comfort of all occupants.
Our easy-to-use app uses real time data from control systems, meters, weather forecasts, and utility rates to optimize the operations of chilled water, hot water, steam, and cogeneration plants. It creates visibility around plant efficiencies and deficiencies with dashboards and fault detection. It can give you real-time control commands or advisory set point recommendations to denote equipment-specific set points to minimize future utility costs and save energy. Used together with digital twin, it can even simulate utility cost and energy use impacts for different plant upgrades or new technologies. So, you can cut utility bills, meet energy, water, and carbon sustainability goals and extend the life of your assets.
Our cloud-based wireless technology enables enhanced chiller maintenance services that help reduce energy consumption, extend asset life, and increase uptime. It gives you greater visibility into chiller health and offers advanced, preventative, and predictive maintenance. Issues can be detected early, and we offer remote root-cause analysis. You can also access expertise from local factory-trained experts to support your needs. All leading to reduced energy consumption, fewer unplanned repairs and optimized chiller performance.
Our industry leading, intuitively designed Building Automation System provides complete control and maximizes operator efficiency to enhance occupant comfort, safety, security, productivity, and delivers impactful sustainability by managing energy use to deliver operational and energy savings. Metasys manages energy use by addressing common issues. In fact, installing a building management system can lead to an average energy reduction of 10%. It collects, summarizes, presents and reports building data speeding up troubleshooting and reducing time spent on the task. It can help keep building systems secure with Cybersecurity best practices. All seamlessly integrating HVAC, fire, security, and lighting systems. It future-proofs your building systems, saving money and energy whilst boosting productivity and effectiveness.
Our OpenBlue Services can help you maximize your HVAC system uptime and protect your assets with ‘Always On’ predictive maintenance and advanced fault detection. With real-time diagnostics at your fingertips, optimize asset and operational performance to help extend asset life and reduce energy consumption. Timely maintenance and replacement of equipment prevents costly downtime. Our advanced Vibration Evaluation service gives you the information you need to keep your HVAC system operating at peak performance. We have the world’s largest database of chiller equipment vibration signature data, giving us the upper hand in diagnosing issues. Predictive Maintenance improves your sustainability by ensuring your equipment is running optimally while using the minimum amount of energy. All this leads to longer lifespans for equipment which means less waste.
Our partnership with like-minded sustainability thought leaders is showing impact. We’ve joined with customers, leading technology companies, research institutions and government entities to build innovative solutions in pursuit of net zero carbon.
