Energy Analysis Techniques
Budget Analysis Set consumption, carbon or financial budgets based on previous period or manual entry. Compare usage against budgets, create forecasts, and normalize comparisons with degree day or production data.
League Table Analysis Compare sites, meters and companies against each other. Normalize comparisons against area, volume and targets.
Tenant Billing Automatically bill tenants based on consumption
Bill Verification Verify bills to easily spot anomalies. Electricity, gas and water invoices.
Alarms Quickset Alarms Profile Alarms Action Raised Alarms
Automatic Reporting Pre-configured Report Library or purchase your own SSRS Report Design Automatic report scheduling
BAS Only Caveat: I already know what s happening on my site. It s all automated, and we don t change anything. Missed clock change on BAS at park district pool facilities = $7,500 of wasted energy on pump timings Un-noticed double pulse count = Double Billing for MONTHS! Compressed air generation timings at food co. changed = 2 wasted hours of gen/day
How can we see savings when things always change? Industrial clients want: - To maintain focus on core business - An extension to their staff (they have enough to do!) - Real time expertise (intelligence and detailed $ reports) - Turnkey solution (get me the savings!) They DON T want: - A big project to manage - Hardware challenges or software adoption challenges - A miss
What happened if we didn t do the project? Annual Savings: - 500Million kwh - 57MW - $35Million Equivalents: - 10% of a coal plant - 175 wind turbines It all adds up: Enough to power 4,000 houses for a year!
Fast Facts: UK s 4 th largest brewer and currently employing 1,800 staff across 16 sites Water consumption: 900,000m³ annually 26 million kwh of energy used in the brewing process Recovery of 4 million kwh of energy from vapour heat exchanger
Requirements: Import and calculate weekly KPI data against target for multiple utilities Hourly updating dashboards and email alarms to notify of anomalies Calculation of plant efficiency Data import from a wide range of meters esight Solution: Weekly KPI data is calculated and compared to target in esight Compressed air and excessive water usage monitored and optimised Monitoring of shutdown opportunities Dashboards installed on department level to highlight areas which are most important to them Reduced overall energy consumption by 10%! Reduced kwh per hectoliter by 14% Reduced effluent cost by 16%
Use Energy Management Information to: Look at Consumption vs. Performance with MY NEW CAR! NEW CAR (EXAMPLE) Last month: Car used 20 gal (Consumption) I drove 1000 miles (Production) Performance = 1000 20 = 50mpg This month: Car used 40 gal (Usage increase) Drove 2500 miles (Production increase) Performance = 2500 40 = 62.5mpg My consumption has increased, BUT, my efficiency has actually improved. Metering only provides the consumption esight provides accurate measure of efficiency.
Client: American Society of Haematology Fast Facts: Purchased a building in Washington to house HQ Wished to demonstrate commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability
Requirements: Demonstrate commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability Ease of integration with Tridium Niagara In-depth analysis and reporting capabilities Increase operational efficiency and lower baseload costs Measure utility consumption against LEED building performance standard esight Solution: Used advanced analyses and reporting to track cost reduction and report on performance Improved occupant comfort and employee productivity Reduced overall energy consumption, water usage, and emissions Active performance management resulted in improved efficiency over the predicted LEED baseline. Reduced electricity consumption by 9% Reduced water usage by 19% Reduced carbon footprint by 40%
Fast Facts: $6.2 Billion REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) headquartered in Philadelphia 2 nd largest property management company in North America 79 million square feet of space, over 2,700 tenants across 700 office and industrial properties
Requirements: Data integration with Tridium Niagara Framework and Microsoft SharePoint Tool to graph energy usage and receive visibility into data Clearly identify baseload profile Compare properties normalized by square footage esight Solution: Monitor energy data from an on-going rollout of over 1,000 data points Data collected from Tridium building automation system, sent automatically via obix for analysis, and in Microsoft SharePoint portal dashboard Provides the ability to confirm BAS settings with intuitive graphic reports saving time and money Initial test resulted in targeted savings of $500,000! Achieved 17.9% Reduction in Energy $4.6 Million in Savings 48 LEED Projects Underway 98 ENERGY STAR Labels Average Score 74
It s as easy as... 1. Do the groundwork- set up your metering systems to monitor chosen consumption areas, collect the subsequent data into a platform that will enable you to analyze usage 2. Monitor your baseload- reduce baseload consumption by recognizing waste and detecting anomalies such as water leaks 3. Benchmark your success- replicate best-practice models throughout your sites, or target your energy use against government-defined standards 4. Know your limits- don t let your consumption exceed reasonable limits, set alarms to notify you of high usage and act quickly to reduce it 5. Promote your progress- Achieve buy-in from staff, customers and visitors in order to sustain your organization s energy efficiency
Business Benefits Reduce energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions by up to 30% Single central database accessible from anywhere, globally End-to-end performance monitoring (temperature to consumption) Automatically identify when exceptions occur for fast response Cut time spent creating energy reports Decrease water consumption and detect leaks Set targets, normalize data and quantify savings Simply calculate ROI on investments Gain staff and visitor involvement in energy management
