Turning Data to Dollars

The secret to energy savings may not be in deep retrofits or new systems. It may be as simple as finding and fixing energy waste in your existing HVAC system.  With stretched time and budgets, some of the quickest (and cheapest) wins are right at the fingertips of building operators; however, having HVAC data close can be empowering and overwhelming.

Passing valves, dampers not modulating, overrides, mechanical and programming issues – he’s seen it all – and in this session, Eric Ewing, Senior Efficiency Analyst for a HVAC AI solution, applies real-life building scenarios to demonstrate practical data tips every facility operator can use to identify energy waste and turn data into dollars. Eric will also provide an overview of how AI can automate a control strategy to proactively control and reduce time, money and energy.
