If you have a large facility or campus with multiple chillers, you need a way to view and analyze their performance. BuildingLogiX gives you an easy way to conduct chiller performance analysis. Let’s look at how our platform provides an operational overview of your chiller performance data.
How Does BuildingLogiX Analyze Your Chillers’ Performance?
BuildingLogiX’s platform has a chiller performance portal that takes in all of your chiller performance data and reviews it. Then it presents that data in a user-friendly format. Once our platform presents the data in this format, your building managers and other stakeholders can use it to adjust chiller plant performance. Think of it as a check engine light for your chiller plant: our platform provides general guidance on what’s happening with your chiller plant. You can use it to determine where any problems are and how to fix them.
Is There Anything BuildingLogiX Doesn’t Do?
Our platform’s chiller performance portal doesn’t control your chiller plant. Instead, it works as a reference tool that gives you concrete data to work with as you determine how to make your chiller plant more efficient. We give you the information you need to see how your chiller plant currently performs. Then you can use that information however you see fit. You can use it to improve an individual chiller’s operations or to improve the entire plant’s efficiency.
When Is the Best Time To Assess Chiller Plant Performance?
It’s best to assess your chiller plant performance during the spring. Why? Large facilities and campuses often need their chiller plants most during the summer months. If you assess your chillers in the spring, you can fix problems and improve their efficiency before the summer heat rolls in and your chillers need to perform well. However, you can also plan chiller assessment projects during the fall. The fall is a great time to use the data BuildingLogiX provides to create new ventilation strategies for your chillers and the rest of your HVAC system. At this point, your chillers are past their peak summer performance levels, but they’re not yet exposed to frigid winter temperatures. Overall, it’s best to improve your chillers’ performance during spring or fall because chiller plants aren’t at peak performance levels during those seasons.
