Every year, building management gets more and more complicated, with new tasks that must be done to keep a facility running smoothly. Of the many different systems and devices in a commercial or industrial building that may consume energy, the largest energy consumer is in-arguably heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR). According to the U.S. Department of Energy, HVACR systems account for 40-60 percent of total building energy usage. The next largest consumer of energy is lighting, at just 11 percent.
When industrial and commercial devices operate independently, it can be difficult, time-consuming, and inefficient to operate them in both cost-effective and environmentally conscious ways. What if an entire HVAC system was connected together? What if all of the HVAC devices, regardless of manufacturer, were managed as one with a single, consolidated interface? Now, reducing the A/C or heat is as simple as interacting with one device, making it easier and less time consuming to operate in an environmentally conscious and energy efficient way.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of HVACR systems can also help to prevent refrigerant leaks and ensure their safe operation. In doing so, facilities can reduce the environmental impact of gas leaks and safeguard the health and safety of workers and occupants. Enterprise Leak Detection (ELD) software gives direct visibility of any refrigerant leaks in connected facilities. This provides industry-leading refrigerant management and notification tools to help facilities reduce operating costs, gain regulatory compliance, and become a leader in sustainability and efficiency.
