Operational optimization
Get in touch and we'll help you cut energy costs!
By using SustEvo for operational optimization, you optimize the energy use in your properties.
Operational optimization of commercial buildings is important for saving money and improving the indoor climate. Unnecessary energy consumption can often be the biggest cost driver in the building owner's and tenant's operating budget, and through incorrect or inappropriate operation, over 30% of energy costs can be wasted money. It is therefore important to focus on operational optimization to increase energy efficiency and save money.

Operational optimization is a continuous optimization of the operation of your building
In the task of operational optimisation, we continuously monitor the energy use and the SD facility to ensure that the facilities function as they should, also outside the building's operating hours. Our experience is that many facilities are more suitable for operation during operating hours, but not for the time when the building is not in use.
At the start of the assignment, we recommend that an energy survey is carried out, which forms the basis for any improvements, and ensures that the building has the right conditions for good operation.
Operational optimization of buildings and technical facilities is about reducing energy use and improving the indoor climate through more efficient operation. This can be done by adapting the settings on technical systems, such as ventilation systems and heating systems, to the actual use of the building and by avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.
An important part of operational optimization is controlling the amount of air in the building. It is important to ensure that the amount of air delivered to different parts of the building matches the need. Too much air will lead to increased energy consumption, while too little air can have a negative effect on the indoor climate. Air meters can be a useful tool for controlling the amount of air and finding possible adjustments that can lead to energy efficiency.
Operational optimization can also involve adapting the settings on technical systems to the actual use of the building. For example, if the settings for the ventilation system are based on the building being in use from 8am to 5pm, but you see that fewer than half of the employees are in place before 9am, you may want to reduce operation of the ventilation system until 9am.
Operational optimization can also include avoiding simultaneous cooling and heating in the transitional seasons of spring and autumn. This means stopping the heating before the cooling starts, so you avoid paying to heat the air you have paid to cool, or vice versa.
Through operational optimization, you can reduce energy consumption and improve the indoor climate in your building, which can lead to cost savings and increased well-being for residents or employees.
