Performance Upgrade and Optimization

We can provide you with a set of recommendations that will serve as a roadmap for upgrading your system assets.

Site Analysis

As part of the site assessment we complete a detailed energy audit, both plantwide and at a component level to gather crucial insights on system performance.

Decades of research and innovation has given us an analytical understanding of the relationship between flow and fluid-based system performance. We use this understanding to analyze and optimize each system’s flow and energy profiles.

The site assessment service informs asset upgrade decisions, leading to substantial savings. Acting on our recommendations, building owners commonly save up to 40% on HVAC system energy usage and up to 90% on plumbing system energy usage. How and why are those kinds of savings possible?

Most mechanical systems are oversized

Design conditions are constantly shifting

Performance drift in mechanical systems and components is a constant

Most building owners are unaware of the energy losses caused by these 3 factors, which leaves them unaware of the capital and operating savings available

Services available as part of a site analysis include:

Site walk-through

Energy and efficiency analysis

Asset Upgrade Roadmap

An asset upgrade is rarely a small project. Many asset upgrade projects are repeatedly deferred because of the large initial investment. This often leads to emergency service or asset replacement purchases that end up costing far more than a well-planned upgrade project would have.

Asset upgrade planning should be viewed as a journey, rather than a single step. With proper planning, the savings from each step in the upgrade program can be used to fund later steps. Because we supply intelligent, connected devices, the data gathered from operation helps to inform future equipment decisions. With accurate data on system operation, in many instances right-sizing the replacement equipment means selecting smaller, less expensive components. To create this value cycle, our proposals include a roadmap to help you plan the journey to peak performance, optimized efficiency and the lowest overall costs.
