Using Data Analytics to Drive Operational Savings Assessing Your Available Data— The First Step in Applying Analytics

Abstract

The ability to effectively utilize the data from building systems
presents the next opportunity to drive efficiency and value for facility
owners. Commonly referred to as “analytics,” results have been demon-
strated across thousands of buildings consisting of hundreds of millions
of square feet. Owners that have adopted analytics have seen strong
financial returns, improved occupant satisfaction and reduced operating
expenses.
Operational analytics has demonstrated great results, but many
owners and operators have still not embarked on the “journey” to take
advantage of these tools. That word—journey—may be one of the rea-
sons.
