Product: meteovia dsm and meteoviva climate

Some times are better than others when it comes to operating an office building. meteoviva dsm building owners can reduce utility costs by shifting the building’s electric cooling and heating demands away from times when energy prices are high.

Challenge
To reduce overall electricity costs by improving the building’s carbon footprint through energy-efficient operation and shifting consumption, for heating and cooling, to off-peak hours. Simultaneously, improving tenant comfort.

Solution

meteoviva used its climate and dsm solutions. With predictive models, we optimized and shifted demand using preheating and precooling strategies to flatten the profile without sacrificing comfort.

Results

Peak demand was reduced by 20%, and energy costs and carbon emissions were slashed by 27% in the first year of operation. meteoviva‘s predictive and proactive building operations improved indoor comfort, significantly reducing the average degree-hours for the zones that are too hot by 33% and too cold by 45%. In addition, 24/7 monitoring detected faults before they affected the indoor climate. The result is a consistently pleasant workspace for tenants.
