Are you missing significant energy, efficiency, and operational savings opportunities at your commercial building? As the astute owner of a commercial building, you have already invested in a building automation system, and are enjoying considerable energy savings and performance improvements as a result. While your building is operating more efficiently on a daily basis, unseen maintenance issues are accumulating in the background. Over time, these issues will negatively affect the performance of the mechanical systems in your facility, resulting in inefficiencies that can end up costing you thousands of dollars. Building analytics products convert the data your building automation system generates into actionable intelligence that will enable you to identify and prioritize maintenance measures, so you can make fact-based improvements that will lower your energy costs, improve tenant comfort, and extend the life of your equipment.

Building Analytics Services

Advanced Control Corporation’s building analytics is an advanced lifecycle managed service that is integrated at the cloud and web levels.  VAO, our proprietary software system, uses automated system-based diagnostics to identify faults, inefficiencies, and system degradation, then makes recommendations for improvement. It features cross-platform data integration that continuously drives action and tracks performance over time, consolidating information from multiple building automation systems, buildings, and clients. Data points are captured through your building automation system every few minutes and sent to our cloud-based data storage system. Advanced Control’s building analytics products analyze a full list of control systems in your building, such as the air handling units, zone and terminal units that control flow, temperature, and humidity, valves, central plant pumps, towers, chillers, and much more.

Once the data reaches Advanced Control’s cloud-based system, our advanced analytics engine uses artificial intelligence to process the building data, continuously monitoring and diagnosing your facility’s performance. The AI identifies any equipment and system faults, analyzing the sequence of operation improvements, system trends and energy usage. If any immediate concerns are noted, our system instantly sends you an alarm so you can organize internal and contract resources to perform any needed repairs.

Using automated fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) and other diagnostic measures, our VAO cloud-based building analytics software produces ranked recommendations. Your building manager can access pre-designed daily diagnostic reports that contain key facility performance data, pinpointing any irregularities in your building systems, identifying avoidable costs, impacts on building comfort, and more. As part of the managed services we offer, our extensive library of diagnostic reports can be customized to your specific sequences and systems, giving you complete access to the data that matters the most to you. Advanced Control’s expert analytics team reviews the prioritized findings to guide action specific to your building requirements and operational needs.

Whether you have a single commercial building or a multi-building facility, the benefits of using Advanced Control’s managed building analytics services are manifold. Through our prioritized recommendations, you gain an increased awareness of building performance so you can perform HVAC retrofits and other system enhancements to uncover hidden savings. The actionable intelligence provided by our system enables you to proactively manage building operations; by making you aware of the financial implications of performance issues, it empowers you to make informed building decisions and manage your resources more efficiently.
