Challenge

The property manager of a 12-story office complex approached Building Technology Systems (BTS) to address issues with aging equipment and operational inefficiencies. Since this building was owned and operated by a national real estate management firm with several other properties in the Denver area, BTS knew that proving successful results was key to establishing trust and gaining access to more of the client’s portfolio.

  • Industry: Office

  • Location: Greater Denver area

  • Solutions: Utility Dashboard; SMART Chiller; ENERGY STAR

Solution

Prior to working with BTS, the client had limited visibility into how their buildings were performing. To deliver better insight, BTS implemented a trial of EnergyPrint’s utility reporting service. After a detailed benchmarking analysis, BTS uncovered and recommended improvements:

  • Installed energy efficient SMART chiller
  • Optimized scheduling within the controls system, slashing demand costs
  • Implemented no-cost operational improvements, such as cutting down climate control on vacant spaces

Results

During the trial period, BTS leveraged EnergyPrint’s Cost Avoidance to prove incredible ROI back to the client—more than $300,000 in savings in only 15 months. Additionally, BTS helped the property manager apply for and earn ENERGY STAR® certification after increasing the property’s ENERGY STAR score from 59 to 80—positioning BTS as a hero in the client’s eyes. The property manager added EnergyPrint to eight other buildings almost immediately. As the client’s trusted energy advisor, BTS continues to monitor this portfolio, find project opportunities and prove ROI.

"If you want to see a client’s eyes light up, just show them their building is saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. EnergyPrint’s Cost Avoidance feature makes it easy for us to prove ROI, create robust visualizations and communicate those results back to the client in a consistent, powerful way.”
