Intelligent Facility Optimization Services
Invest in Your Building Digital Transformation
Facility managers and building owners are at capacity in meeting the operational demands of their sites. This leaves little to no time for deep data analysis or actionable insights that can streamline processes and improve operational performance to support organizational strategy. Intelligent facility optimization services can help address such needs to support execution of operational goals, address costly gaps, discover hidden opportunities, and maximize technology value. The result? Improved organizational lifetime value and building occupant experiences.

Realize Your Building’s Full Operational Potential
Prioritize Your Facility Outcomes
Elevate your building performance with connected intelligence. Leverage live and historical data to simplify and optimize building operations. Benefit from direct and indirect cost-saving opportunities that can streamline processes and improve performance.
Facility Energy Savings
Savings from a reduction in energy use are often the most easily quantifiable cost savings intelligent facility optimization services can enable. Users reported savings of up to 30% on energy costs after taking action on data-driven insights.
In mission-critical spaces that require more constant heating or cooling, we can provide insight into plant optimization or free cooling opportunities to lessen the load on mechanical equipment. In addition, direct access to utility rate information can enable load-shedding recommendations based on day-ahead hourly rates to help reduce energy costs during peak demand.
Maintenance Savings
Remote facility monitoring and maintenance can reduce unplanned truck rolls without sacrificing operations. Technician time becomes more efficient when the focus shifts from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, preventative maintenance that can help extend equipment lifecycles by 25% or more. Runtime-based maintenance is further enhanced when paired with continuous commissioning (Cx) to ensure equipment operates according to manufacturer specifications and the facility's sequence of operations.
Improved Productivity
People spend more time in spaces where they’re comfortable, and that means more productive employees and happier customers.
Managing spaces with the help of comfort-based analytical insights allows operators to provide consistent, comfortable conditions to all occupants within their facilities to maintain customer satisfaction. A building wellness study1 identified thermal comfort, indoor air quality, visual comfort, and acoustic comfort as environmental quality factors that are strongly linked to occupant health and productivity.

Space Optimization
When data from disparate systems like lighting, HVAC, security, access control or meeting room reservation comes together, intelligent facility optimization services provide actionable insight that none of these systems could provide alone.
Understanding usage patterns for conference rooms, common areas, and on-demand workspaces allows operators to use space more efficiently and avoid conditioning spaces that aren’t used or used properly.
