ETC presents Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx)

Summary        

Building performance drift is a common challenge facing facility management. Finely tuned and commissioned HVAC systems lose performance over time. The negative impacts of performance drift lead to wasted energy and increased annual energy costs. For one building, the costs can be high, while for enterprises managing multiple buildings, the costs can be devastating.

This presentation will outline key components to a successful monitoring based commissioning (MBCx) program:

• The importance of an organization’s structure and culture to maximize and maintain high performance buildings across an enterprise
• Techniques to implement smart data analytics technologies to create actionable KPIs for smarter and more efficient decision-making
• Best practices in leveraging MBCx services with modern data analytics software to address:
• • Occupant comfort
• • Compliance
  • Energy savings and lower operating costs
  • Equipment reliability and longevity
• How to implement monitoring software tools to create historical, real-time and predictive reports about building and enterprise-wide performance
• A recent MBCx project outlining details and results can be found linked at this article on Energy Manager Today website.
