Why HVAC Still Ignores Occupants — And How Asset Assess Changes That
A recent article questions why HVAC systems operate as if all building spaces are occupied, despite existing data. Asset Assess proposes occupancy-based HVAC control, integrating real-time analytics without replacing infrastructure. This approach can reduce energy costs by 15–30%, enhance comfort, and inform strategic decisions, maximizing efficiency and sustainability.

ACCURATE MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION WITH FDD
Fault detection and Diagnostics (FDD) software is becoming increasingly accepted as an essential tool in the modern energy management process. FDD software not only helps energy managers identify energy conservation measures (ECMs), but it can also automatically notify facility operations and maintenance (O&M) teams when energy waste occurs. And it can do that long before the next utility bill…
