Big companies and institutions that operate a significant number of facilities are always looking for new ways to optimize their energy consumption, which also correlates with long-term financial savings. Most modern and renovated buildings are equipped with sensors and meters for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems as well as for electricity and water systems. We aim to optimize energy consumption by using the data generated from these systems to mine patterns and predict the operation conditions of each system.
In terms of financial operating efficiency, the fixed costs and additional costs of operation need to be calculated. The aim will be to minimize all additional costs while maintaining the fixed, baseline costs as required. Decision-making will be based on the expected demand on the various systems (mentioned above) at different times. A monitoring system should map the usage of and demand on these systems in different parts of the buildings to create expectations and keep track of changes.
Besides the financial benefits, we aim to increase customer satisfaction. This will be achieved through detecting the occupancy on each level of each building, hourly calibrating the temperature depending on the weather forecasts, and providing the ideal temperature and the proper amounts of filtered air.
