ABB Ability™ Building Analyzer

True to the saying “You can’t manage what you can’t measure” ABB recently introduced a Building Intelligence tool to track significant data from commercial buildings and their utilities usage in real time. The software solution collects all data from heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems of single or multiple buildings. The information can be leveraged to improve energy efficiency and help meet sustainability goals. The ABB Ability™ Building Analyzer collects and analyzes data and provides actionable insights to facility and energy managers to optimally control their buildings, lower energy expenses, reduce emissions and operating costs. This new cloud-based software as a service solution can collect unlimited data points from nearly any source, such as meters and sensors, and can be accessed from any geographical location.

Live data from a building enables effective management and active decision-making through real-time visibility of utility usage.  Managers can easily follow a continuous improvement process by monitoring planned versus actual usage and reporting progress; they also can benchmark buildings (with normalized comparisons of energy consumption) across a portfolio to identify the best and worst performing sites. The solution can generate instant or scheduled custom reports on energy consumption, costs, carbon emissions, performance versus targets as well as tenant costs reports. The energy consumption and emissions of a building can be reduced by up to 20%.

Building Analyzer uncovers how an existing Building Management System underperforms and where improvements could be applied to reach optimal control of the building, thus shortening the path to a positive ROI in just a few months.

Key facts:

• Visibility, analysis and baselining of building data and utility usage
• Continuous improvement in energy management
• Energy consumption and emissions of a building reduced by up to 20%
