An Introduction to Compliance
The key to achieving maximum energy and operational savings associated with building energy codes is through compliance verification and ongoing systems monitoring. Autani’s EnergyCenter software easily allows a commissioning agent or acceptance tester to verify that component programming and settings comply with your local energy standard requirements. Ongoing system monitoring and reporting ensure the integrity of executing energy-saving strategies.
Energy Saving Strategies
Here are some key energy-saving strategies available to Autani users that can all be commissioned and monitored through the EnergyCenter Software.
Daylight Harvesting
Dim indoor and outdoor lighting when daylight is available.
Local Dimming Control
Permit occupants to lower the light level below the high-end trim for comfort and additional savings.
High-End Trim / Institutional Tuning
Set the maximum light level based on customer requirements in each space to prevent overlighting.
System Metering and Monitoring
Revenue grade metering for measurement, verification, and system monitoring to identify changes in energy performance.
Occupancy / Vacancy Sensing
Turn lights on when occupants are in a space and off when they vacate the space.
Demand Management
Manage lighting and HVAC electrical loads to limit ratchet charges and periods of peak demand pricing.
HVAC Control
Manage smart thermostats and sensors to implement temperature setbacks for HVAC equipment based upon occupancy or a time clock.
Plug Load Control
Manage control of select plug loads for demand management and the elimination of phantom loads when the building is not occupied.
Automatic Scheduling & Timeclock*
Automatically dim or shut off lighting based on centrally managed schedules.
* Requires Autani Manager or CR02-W.A0.
