Energy efficiency and sustainability

The optimisation of energy efficiency, with a focus on sustainability goals, is a major challenge of our time. AVEVA software makes a decisive contribution to achieving these goals by not only minimising energy consumption, but also actively supporting the integration and use of renewable energy sources. This helps to significantly reduce the ecological footprint of buildings. By using AVEVA software for the intelligent control of buildings and the optimisation of HVAC systems, sustainable and environmentally friendly operation is made possible, increasing efficiency and conserving resources at the same time.

"We've achieved some of the more obvious efficiencies, but to reach our 2025 goal we need to go deeper. That increasingly requires things like user engagement, campus engagement, and optimization. In the last five years, the use of real-time data and the PI System has become increasingly integral to our operations and our goals."

Solution

Supervisory & Control of heterogeneous systems

The challenge in automating buildings lies in developing intelligent control systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting that are flexible and user-friendly. These systems must be able to adapt seamlessly to different needs and conditions of use in order to maximise energy efficiency and increase comfort for residents. Intuitive operation allows users to customise the environment to their needs while reducing operating costs.

Integrating with your Building Information Modeling (BIM)

AVEVA SCADA solutions seamlessly integrate with Building Intelligence Modeling (BIM) to enhance Facility Management and Asset localization. This integration allows for a comprehensive real-time 3D view of the entire facility, enabling real-time monitoring and control of building systems alongside detailed BIM data. Operators can easily visualize and track assets within the facility, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing downtime. By linking SCADA with BIM, facility managers gain precise insights into asset locations and conditions, leading to optimized resource allocation, streamlined operations, and a more intelligent, responsive management approach.

Solution

Leveraging BACnet to speed up your SCADA engineering

AVEVA's supervisory solution integrates seamlessly with BACnet networks, offering a faster, more efficient way to design supervisory applications. This integration allows for direct access to enriched data from building automation systems, enabling comprehensive monitoring and control of HVAC, lighting, and other critical systems. By leveraging BACnet’s standard protocols, AVEVA simplifies the design process, ensuring consistent and reliable data flow across devices. This results in better standard management, improved operational efficiency, and the ability to quickly deploy high-performance supervisory applications tailored to the specific needs of the facility.

Solution

Integrate IoT devices to your BMS/FMS

The integration of AVEVA's supervisory solution with secondary IoT sensing devices on LPWAN networks (LoRaWAN, Sigfox, NB-IoT...) brings significant benefits to building automation and facility management. This setup allows for comprehensive, real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, energy usage, and equipment performance across large or remote areas, even where traditional wired systems may not be feasible. By capturing and analyzing data from diverse IoT sensors, facility managers can optimize building operations, reduce energy consumption, enhance predictive maintenance, and improve occupant comfort. The result is a smarter, more efficient facility management system that reduces costs and increases operational reliability.

Solution

Leverage built-in Historian and Reporting

AVEVA Historian and Reporting solutions offer significant benefits to Facility Managers by providing real-time data collection and long-term storage of operational metrics. Facility Managers gain comprehensive insights into energy consumption, equipment performance, and environmental conditions. Advanced reporting tools enable detailed analysis of trends, facilitating proactive maintenance and optimizing resource usage. This data-driven approach helps in identifying inefficiencies, reducing operational costs, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Ultimately, AVEVA’s solutions empower Facility Managers to make informed decisions, improve building performance, and enhance overall facility management efficiency.
