When it comes to HVAC energy consumption, buildings can mask gradual increases without triggering any alerts. Facility management teams that monitor building performance manually often miss these escalations until utility bills rise, tenants complain or equipment breaks down. Energy affects all elements of property management value, including rental rates, operating expense reduction and asset valuations. That makes determining how to control energy consumption and its costs, plus coordinating and executing timely maintenance, a core element of property management.
More complete energy performance monitoring
What’s the most efficient way to monitor building performance, ensuring occupant comfort while minimizing consumption? Many property owners and managers have adopted automated systems that monitor energy usage without relying on manual intervention. According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, automated fault detection and diagnostics enables median whole-building portfolio savings of 7%.
These systems prevent HVAC problems by detecting faults and triggering alerts before they affect the bottom line. This optimizes heating and cooling to support tenant comfort and reduce costs.
Yardi Energy Suite includes advanced energy efficiency tools like Yardi Fault Detection to help you identify operational issues faster and more accurately than manual monitoring.
Energy Efficiency benefits include:
- Curb excess energy consumption with automated identification of demand spike patterns
- Resolve comfort issues before building occupants report excessive heat or cold
- Prevent excessive equipment run time and energy consumption as seasons change
- Identify equipment wear and operational inefficiencies that are difficult to detect manually
Complementing identification with action
When Energy Efficiency tools identify an equipment issue, property managers can use Yardi Facility Manager to ensure a timely, effective response and keep properties in top condition.
Facility Manager automates preventive maintenance, inspection tracking, work order management, approvals, payments and team communication in a single system. Full integration with CommercialCafe Tenant Portal lets building occupants submit and track work orders from a desktop or mobile device. Automatic inspection report storage in Yardi Voyager improves efficiency by eliminating duplicate document storage.
The automated maintenance functionality in Yardi Facility Manager helps property owners and managers:
- Save time and money with recurring maintenance scheduling that extends equipment life
- Improve the property occupant experience by connecting tenants, technicians and vendors on a fully integrated platform
- Streamline inspections with templates
“Facility Manager has been fantastic. It allows us to see at each individual property what type of maintenance is going on and where we need to invest capital to address those projects,” said Gary Shaw, regional managing director for Colliers.
Automating building operations is a proven way to reduce excessive usage, improve efficiency and keep occupants satisfied. Learn more about the benefits available from Yardi’s smart approach to energy and facility management.
