120 N. LaSalle

Chicago, Illinois

Constructed in the early 90’s, 120 N. LaSalle has been subject to various BAS upgrades and control sequence optimization projects in the past. BTune partnered with Lincoln Property Company to identify additional energy savings in the LEED-Gold building.  

 

We were able to identify further sources of energy waste by methodically analyzing building system types. Through our ASO technology, BTune then quickly deployed optimizations to 100’s of terminal units across 39 floors, all without any additional costs to reprogram controllers.

“BTune is the first technology we’ve used that really works. And unlike other options that suggested equipment replacement, paying for new programing changes or hours of our time, BTune has been so easy to implement–we just plugged in the box and they could implement the changes on their own. They really understand our building and ensure it’s controlled the way we need it to be, rather than fitting it into their own prescribed rules.”

ANZ Centre

Christchurch, New Zealand

Although the ANZ Centre was already deemed to be energy efficient, they piloted BTune to determine if additional energy savings could be achieved without creating additional expense or workload for the building team.

​

BTune was deployed across the office area of this 120,000 square foot, 5-year-old mixed office and retail building, comprising 45% of all energy used in the building. It quickly began analyzing historical and real-time building data and identified 12 Energy Savings Opportunities (ESOs) that would reduce HVAC energy consumption across 200+ individual pieces of equipment.

 

Once the action report was approved by the facilities team, BTune deployed supervisory control to automatically implement the ESOs, and continued to monitor and further optimize energy performance over the next 15 months.​

Aorangi House

​

NABERS Base Building Uplift | Wellington

"Wellington’s Aorangi House is one of New Zealand’s most energy-efficient buildings. Once an outdated and unoccupied office building first built in 1970, it’s now a 5.5 star NABERSNZ-rated green building that uses approx. 64% less energy than the average commercial office building in New Zealand."

The project’s largest saver (a total of 8 savings measures were implemented) was the reduced use of their gas boiler and maximised use of a higher efficiency electric VRF system. Hence, the project opted to promote electricity over gas and resulted in the substitution of a cheaper fuel type (gas) for a more expensive type (electricity). Still, a relatively quick payback was achieved as there was no large investment in new equipment required.

​

Aorangi House won the award for "Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance" at the 2018 WGBC Awards and CIBSE Awards.

22 The Terrace​

Carbon Emissions Reduction | Wellington

22 The Terrace is a 10 story commercial office building with 5,000 sq m of floor space and is more than 20 years old. Stride Property engaged BTune to improve energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions.

BTune's team of building scientists and energy efficiency specialists have continuously gathered and monitored data from the building’s systems, including fan speeds, valve positions, and temperatures. BTune performs automated analytics to provide insights into where energy is being wasted, and these insights are developed into an action plan to deliver significant outcomes for 22 The Terrace.

Outcomes Delivered

​

  • Annual energy cost savings of $17,000

  • Annual carbon emissions decreased by 25 tonnes

  • 19% reduction in whole building energy use

“Stride Property in partnership with BTune has a definitive energy monitoring tool that actually works. BTune also provides the professional analysis as to the 'why' and gives direction with the 'how' in energy management.

 

Stride Property Limited aims for smarter energy management through continuous monitoring and diagnostics. BTune has succeeded in creating significant energy savings at 22 The Terrace.”
