Facilities managers can overcome reactive building operations by moving toward centralized, integrated platforms that enable real-time monitoring and coordination.
The key to unlocking significant energy savings and performance gains is for facilities managers to prioritize operational excellence before turning to costly capital upgrades.
York absorption chiller uses PV waste-heat recovery technology designed to convert 75 percent of energy from sunlight into energy. The system qualifies for state and utility incentives across North America, especially in warm climates, and integrates into any building controls system, according to the company. It generates hot water for the absorption chiller to air-condition buildings and electricity to reduce demand from the power grid. The solution features a solar-collector system developed by Cogenra.
