Building confidence knowing the why behind your facilitys operations Transform data into information to improve energy and operational efficiency and occupant comfort

Investments in building automation systems enable you to control and monitor your building operations with alarms, comfort calls, and metering dashboards that indicate when a problem may exist. But did you know that significant energy, efficiency, and operational savings can be missed without knowing the whole story?

Building Analytics from Schneider Electric converts the abundance of data from your building management system into actionable intelligence to improve facility performance. But Building Analytics also allows you to do more than just identify mechanical plant and equipment inefficiencies. You can now pinpoint which systems and equipment have irregularities with prioritization based on the severity of impact on cost, comfort, energy, and maintenance.

Our advanced, cloud-based automated diagnostics use artificial intelligence to not only identify

Let us show you how to: > Take advantage of your building data > Find hidden costs and inefficiencies > Optimize operational performance > Improve occupant comfort

problem conditions, but also guide resolution through suggested proposals and actions. Along with periodic and regular reviews, this actionable information allows you to better organize internal and contract resources for quicker, more efficient repairs and commissioning services.

Building Analytics is about building confidence. It provides you with the ability to optimize operations by making fact-based improvements that are proven to lower energy costs, extend equipment life, and increase occupant comfort making a positive and measurable impact on your bottom line.

Information flows from data to results Building Analytics will help you reduce facility operating costs over time by targeting maintenance efforts.

Identify: Stakeholders can access automated diagnostic results for instant visibility into the most costly issues for their facility and can direct maintenance resources accordingly.

Expert review: Remote expert engineering analysts aggregate diagnostic results, track progress, and consult with stakeholders on harder to solve problems.

Execute: Schneider Electric service, internal team members, or external vendors are directed to address mechanical issues and cost-saving opportunities.

Validate: The data validates if problems were effectively resolved or require further attention.

Achieve results: Building Analytics can reduce the cost of facility operations primarily in utility cost savings, maintenance efficiency, and operational improvements. Here are a few examples:

At a multi-tenant office tower: 33 700 in expected awards from monitoring and verification to facilitate utility incentives

At a research laboratory: 286k saved from fault detection in a ventilation system

At a community centre: 23 per cent return on investment from commissioning rooftop units to reduce operational costs

Identify operational and energy performance opportunities Only Schneider Electric delivers portfolio diagnostic summaries of equipment and system inefficiencies ranked by cost, comfort, energy, and maintenance

You are challenged today to do much more in less time with fewer resources. As part of the Schneider Electric life cycle managed services offering, Building Analytics gives you real, measurable, and traceable performance opportunities and results.

Many smart building systems have limited analytic capabilities, providing either simple snapshots of current operations, outlines of general energy trending, or alerts through the application of simplistic rules or algorithms. Only Building Analytics detailed diagnostic reports rank recommendations

on the most impactful fault remedies and energy savings opportunities based on cost, comfort, energy, and maintenance impact.

Built on scalable enterprise software architecture, Building Analytics can be used in one building or throughout multiple facilities across your portfolio. Building Analytics requires little to no additional hardware or software as it is compatible with most existing building management systems, and the extensive diagnostics library can be customized to your specific sequences and system.

Diagnostics generate a report containing key facility performance data on comfort, energy, and maintenance. Clicking on view will open a pop-up window displaying detailed diagnostics.

Building Analytics in action At a client facility, Building Analytics detected that the preheating coil and cooling coil were operating simultaneously. Building Analytics identified more than 737 and 23.4 kWh being wasted on one particular day. Using data found in the reports, the service technician was able to quickly pinpoint and repair a leaking chilled water valve, resulting in a cost avoidance of 46 000 annually, with a positive return on investment in the first month.
