Platform Module
Optimum Energy recently announced the availability of a new platform module aimed at the use of air in HVAC systems in commercial buildings. With the company’s new OptimumAIR module, facilities can cut energy use from HVAC systems 20 to 40 percent. Soft-launched last year, OptimumAIR is already proving its power in real-world operating conditions at nine Optimum Energy customer sites around the globe. OptimumAIR automatically adjusts airflow from direct digital control (DDC) variable air volume systems to use the least amount of fan power, chilled water and heating energy possible while meeting building temperature, humidity and airflow requirements. In contrast to conventional controllers, which maintain static temperatures and pressures or optimize based on worst-case zones, OptimumAIR provides continuous system-level optimization. The cloud-based OptiCx Platform seamlessly optimizes all aspects of enterprise-grade HVAC: chilled water plant, boiler plant and air-handling systems.
