Operational optimization
Fine-tuning of existing technical installations — typically 10–25 % reduced consumption without investment.
Most buildings use more energy than they need because the systems are not properly tuned. Operational optimisation is about capturing that difference before investing in new technology.
What we do
- Review of setpoints, operating schedules and demand control
- Analysis of hourly consumption and comparison against operating hours and outdoor temperature
- Adjustment of ventilation, heating and cooling to actual use
- Continuous follow-up with monthly variance reporting
When it is appropriate
- Buildings with stable consumption that have not been reviewed for a couple of years
- Portfolios where operations are outsourced and no one owns the energy data
- As a first step before larger measures — the reduction makes investment decisions easier
We do not deliver a single report and disappear. The effect comes when the adjustments are maintained over time.
When is it cost-effective?
Operational optimisation almost always yields a faster payback than investment in new technology, but some starting conditions lead to particularly large savings:
- Systems that are 3–5 years or older, where the original commissioning has drifted and setpoints have been changed over time without a consolidated overview
- Buildings that went through pandemic periods or other long deviations in use, where operating patterns were never reset to normal operation
- Properties with new tenants, changed usage profiles or renovations, where ventilation and heating still operate according to the previous use
- Buildings with documented discrepancies between projected and measured consumption, or where energy management flags recurring deviations without an obvious cause
- Portfolios where operations are fragmented among several suppliers and no one owns the energy data
