Building Advisor Case Study Lab Project

In the fall of 2010, monitoring services were provided for a 450,000 square-foot (137,160 sq m) research laboratory in the greater Boston area. The five-year-old facility was equipped with state-of-the-art energy efficient HVAC systems, including 10 ventilation units with capacity exceeding 50,000 CFM and several hundred variable air volume (VAV) boxes, to serve a mix of laboratory, office, and educational space. Building Advisor provides facility teams with continuous system fault detection to automatically evaluate and organize the condition of equipment. This information enables proactive building maintenance while ensuring persistent energy efficiency, which could result in significant ongoing energy and cost savings.
