Challenge
Making sure 18 buildings in different locations, with varying installations and BMSes will be as efficient as possible while remaining comfortable for their users.
Approach
This is a BRIGHTER project. Our aim was to get the BMSes connected and have data coming into our system as soon as possible. This allowed us to start analyzing the data. We also made sure to plan our first (on-site) pre-functional check early on. This allowed us to prioritize buildings based on data and possible maintenance needs.
Outcome
Autonomous, intelligently controlled buildings that are comfortable, healthy, and waste no energy. We aim to save, on average, 20% on gas/heat. So far, in the pilot phase, BRIGHTER helped save 40% on gas usage and 15% on electricity. Tenants noticed an improved indoor climate.
