In commercial real estate, energy costs are both a line item and an opportunity. Most buildings are reasonably good at managing visible energy use — adjusting lighting schedules, refining HVAC setpoints, or upgrading to LED. However, the most significant opportunities for savings are often invisible and hidden in the fabric of day-to-day operations.
Subtle inefficiencies and faults silently drain energy and money. A fan coil unit left running all weekend. An AHU that never cycles off due to a misconfigured sensor. A chiller short-cycling during mild weather. These aren't dramatic failures; they're operational background noise. But over time, they can cost thousands in wasted energy.
Traditional BMS setups rarely detect these issues. They require someone to notice a change or manually inspect trend logs. That's where EDGE Insight steps in. It acts as an always-on diagnostic layer, monitoring your systems in near-real time and applying machine learning to detect anomalies and inefficiencies before they escalate.
EDGE doesn't just highlight usage; it reveals the why. Contextualising data with occupancy patterns, weather, and control schedules clarifies what's normal versus what needs attention.
This enables facility teams to:
- Detect faults before they affect performance
- Validate the financial impact of energy-saving interventions
- Clearly quantify avoided costs
In one EDGE case study, a global client reduced energy consumption by 22% in just six months, with no disruption to operations. That's the kind of result that goes beyond compliance — it's innovative business.
Energy waste you can't see is still costing you. EDGE Insight makes it visible, actionable, and preventable.
