5 Overlooked Data Points: Optimizing Your Healthcare Facility

Hospital HallYour HVAC equipment and controls are speaking to you. Their language is data. And this data is accessible with a Building Intelligence Program in place, but many teams either lack the staff count to spend time reviewing building data or may not have been trained to know where to look in the first place.

Our expert team has come up with the 5 most overlooked data points that can help you optimize your healthcare facility operations.

Space Temperature Trend logs

This is one of the fastest, easiest and most accurate methods to verify temperature setback controls are working correctly.

Equipment run time logs compared to building loads

Are you running two chillers even though the load can be handled by one chiller? This happens most commonly with boilers.

Variable speed drive loading logs

Are your vfds ramping up and down with the load?  If a vfd stays at full speed there may either be an equipment problem or an opportunity to achieve energy savings.

Reheat valve position logs

Are all of the reheat valves on an air handler modulated?  If so, there may be an opportunity to perform supply air reset and achieve energy savings. The same condition applies to monitoring chilled water temperature and the most critical air handler chilled water valves.

Equipment cycling logs

Are all of the compressors on a condensing unit receiving the same number of starts?  If not, the compressor that is cycling the most may be in danger of premature failure.

Using these 5 data points will help you understand how your healthcare facility is functioning and learn what you can do to improve efficiency. For more info, or to talk with one of our experts, contact BCS Performance Solutions.
