Energy Management

Energy is What We Do

Enfiled saves you energy and money by leveraging existing energy management systems, controls expertise and new and innovative technologies. Energy Management Systems interact with all aspects of a building and are the common link between occupants, facility managers, and mechanical and electrical systems. A building cannot maximize energy efficiency, no matter how efficient the equipment is, without an optimized Energy Management System.

HVAC and lighting account for the majority of energy consumption in commercial buildings. A well designed and maintained control system is the first step to minimizing this energy cost and ensuring tenant comfort. With Enfiled Energy Services you can take this a step further by customizing an energy management plan that fits your facility’s needs.

Facility Care

Enfiled ’ signature energy service and building performance offering facilityCARE, is an ongoing commissioning and advanced analytics platform that proactively identifies energy waste and system inefficiencies as they happen.

In the first 3 to 4 years of operation, “building performances typically deteriorate as much as 30%.” Setpoint and sequence modifications, manual system overrides, tenant activity, deferred maintenance, and space-use changes can all lead to operational drift within the building automation system and ultimately inefficient building performance. The facilityCARE process ensures your facility stays like-new.

facilityCARE is powered by SkyFoundry’s analytics software, SkySpark. SkySpark helps facility owners and operators find what matters in the vast amount of data produced by today’s smart systems.

FacilityAI: Autonomous Building Optimization

FacilityAI utilizes BrainBox AI’s machine learning platform to continuously tune your building based on true facility usage and tenant needs. Using artificial intelligence removes the guessing and data wrangling that traditional building optimization platforms rely on. No additional building sensors are required, and the service works with nearly every building automation system

Customers typically begin to see net positive cash flow within three months of operational runtime. As FacilityAI learns your building, you will also experience a reduction in service calls as the platform makes automatic adjustments.

Energy & Facility Improvement

An assessment of your facility is the first step to developing a project that will save your building energy and money while improving performance. Though Energy Assessments tend to focus on energy conservation projects, it is common for the non-energy benefits (tenant comfort, maintenance reduction, end of life replacement, etc.) to be the primary project driver. Enfiled will identify facility improvement and energy conservation measures and any applicable utility and grant incentives. ATS can provide financing options If funding is needed. After project qualification and selection, Enfiled will manage the process, execute the improvement measures, provide measurement and verification to ensure project success, and deliver ongoing service to ensure lasting results are maintained at your facility.

Performance Contracting

Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) is a method for identifying and completing energy efficiency upgrades and retrofits utilizing guaranteed project costs, performance, and energy savings. ESPC applies to  public facilities such as municipal buildings, public hospitals, school districts, colleges, universities, and many more.

 We can help you maximize your budgets, reduce energy usage, improve equipment longevity, and increase occupant comfort and safety.

Energy Metering

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Whether it is campus, tenant, or system sub metering,Enfiled supports the provision, installation, and ongoing monitoring of electric, gas, steam, chilled/hot water, or any other sub meters. With proper metering in place, energy management priorities become clearer and the ability to manage energy becomes easier.

Enfiled is also able to help your facility meet local metering guidelines including the requirements by the City of Seattle and the State of Washington energy codes.

Energy Optimization

Energy management systems are sophisticated, and sometimes complex tools that enable facilities to maximize energy savings. Energy Management Systems are also nearly infinitely flexible and adjustable, which, over time, can lead to unintended energy waste. The Enfiled energyOptimization service employs a systematic approach that focuses on the three S’s of control system efficiency – Schedules, Set Points, & Sequences – to maximize energy savings.
