Performance Reporting

Energy Track™ Shows the Big Picture

The green building era has unquestionably reduced energy consumption and made today’s buildings more efficient. But how much more efficient?

More than 75% of the lifecycle costs of a building are incurred in the operation and maintenance of the facility after construction.

Many of today’s “eco-friendly” buildings lack continuous commissioning and the knowledge necessary to constantly optimize the performance of a space or building. While millions of dollars are spent to construct more energy efficient buildings, up to half of buildings with energy controls don’t perform as well as expected over time. Building nuances and construction complexities can create roadblocks to what is achievable. A lack of reporting in these facilities can result in underperformance and can create an unclear understanding of the return on the original investment in controls.

Enter Convia

Convia delivers the data necessary to fully understand how a space is performing. Energy, technology, and space utilization information is recorded by the Energy Track™ reporting tool, which gives users the opportunity to see energy performance in real-time and to react to unanticipated events that draw more power than expected. With easy-to-read graphs and/or tables, managers can compare current usage to historical data and use this information to adapt the Convia system for future use.

Convia solutions include integrated energy monitoring and reporting at a zone (or circuit) level so you have the granular information you need to understand the performance of your space.

Ongoing Commissioning Means Ongoing Value

According to the Energy Systems Laboratory, applying continuous commissioning adds 15 - 45 % savings over a normally commissioned building, as measured by the methods outlined in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). The DOE itself estimates that an additional 20% of energy can be saved in buildings if continuous commissioning is used.

Convia’s Energy Track™ reporting tool makes these energy savings strategies possible.
