Could your building be more energy

efficient?

Operating buildings in an energy efficient

way is becoming increasingly important.

Quite often, poorly performing equipment

remains undiscovered for long periods of

time, resulting in businesses spending too

much on energy. Today, tenants expect

more from their buildings. User experience,

comfort and a heightened awareness of

sustainable energy practices are putting

more pressure on building owners. Simulta-

neously, building owners face pressure to

lower operating costs. Adopting a more

modern approach to building operations

can deliver significant savings. In fact,

energy efficiency measures can result in

energy savings of  percent for HVAC.

CloudFIMs: Putting good

data to great use

A smarter approach to energy efficiency and

equipment reliability

Highlights

Leverage cloud-based

analytics from Siemens to

proactively identify Facility

Improvement Measures

(FIMs) and implement them

remotely to maintain an

efficient and continuously

optimized environment.

Key benefits

• Reduce OPEX spending by

proactively identifying

energy and operational

efficiency improvement

measures

• Improve equipment

reliability and reduce risks

associated with costly

downtime.

• Reduce total cost of

building ownership

• Prioritize possible improve-

ment measures based on

business impact

• Take actions remotely and

and ensure issue resolution

is quantified

Equipment options

available

• Air Handling Units

(AHUs)

• Boiler plant

• Chiller plant

(KPI monitoring)

CloudFIMs from Siemens offers a

smarter approach

To overcome these problems, building

owners and operators are seeking new data

driven approaches that more proactively

identify issues and address them based on

their potential impact. CloudFIMs, use

performance data and trends from the

building automation system to identify

Facility Improvement Measures (FIMs) which

can be implemented remotely for immediate

savings. By identifying and correcting

schedule and programming issues, buildings

maintain an energy efficient and continu-

ously optimized environment.

Controlling the cost of ownership and enabling savings Over the 40-year lifecycle of a building, the cost to operate the building and for the energy it consumes accounts for 50 percent of the building’s total cost (Figure 1). Research shows that building owners and operators who take a more proactive and comprehensive approach to building maintenance, which includes CloudFIMs from Siemens, can reduce a building’s overall cost of ownership by roughly 18 percent (Figure 2).
