BEYOND ENERGY: $0.00 IS ALSO WRONG.
SHOWING ALL THE VALUE FROM MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. Let’s start with a familiar picture when calculating cost savings in a building. Certain categories of maintenance issues or completed work show $0 avoidable cost associated or $0 dollars saved, despite clearly having an impact on energy savings or extension of equipment life. We’re looking at you, “Fan…

TRANSFORMING FACILITIES WITH FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSTICS (FDD) FOR CONTINUOUS COMMISSIONING
As defined in the Federal Energy Management Program’s (FEMP) Commissioning Guidebook, Continuous Commissioning is “an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimise energy use and identify retrofits for existing commercial and institutional buildings and central plant facilities.” Where most Commissioning processes focus on bringing building operation to the original design intent, Continuous Commissioning…

TRANSFORMING BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
FIRSTLY, HOW HAVE BMS’ EVOLVED? Building Management Systems (BMS) have come a long way since their early days, evolving from simple controls for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and lighting to sophisticated platforms for integrated building operations. Initially, BMS were designed for centralized control and scheduling, focusing on operational efficiency and cost savings. Today,…

UNLOCKING MAINTENANCE EFFICIENCY
A GUIDE TO CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a proactive maintenance strategy that involves monitoring the real-time condition of building equipment to determine when maintenance is needed. While the concept is often discussed conceptually among operations leaders, more and more facility teams are now implementing this proactive approach to maintenance. Shifting to a condition-based…
