System Integration Helps Businesses Save Energy Use

Achieve accurate control and monitoring of HVAC and refrigeration infrastructure by integrating their devices into one overarching control and monitoring system. The resulting streamlined HVACR infrastructure helps businesses save energy and operating costs.

Cooperation

In an integrated system, HVACR equipment works with rather than against each other to create an efficient facility. 

Control

Integration enables accurate control of HVACR assets across building services for a streamlined facility. 

Data

Access to quality data allows businesses to detect issues and make changes where needed to reduce energy use. 

Cooperating Systems

If systems such as heating and cooling are competing instead of cooperating, energy use can spiral out of control. In an integrated system, the HVACR devices, such as the heating, cooling, and lighting will work seamlessly together, creating an energy-efficient facility with optimal comfort levels for staff and customers. 

Centralised Control

The most efficient building infrastructure relies on centralised control. If the entire HVACR infrastructure is controlled by one central front-end device, it's possible to ensure that systems are cooperating with each other for optimum conditions and energy use. If equipment has been fitted at different intervals and is now controlled separately, linking these together can provide crucial energy savings. 

Third-Party Integration

If different parts of the system were installed over time, there might be equipment from different manufacturers onsite. It's possible to create an integrated system featuring equipment from different manufacturers when using a control system based on open communication protocols. This allows creating an overarching control and monitoring strategy to ensure that the system works as efficiently as possible.

Identifying Savings

If the entire HVACR system is fully integrated and monitored by one central platform, businesses can access quality data. Once businesses have full visibility of all connected devices, they can detect equipment issues, poor running conditions, and even incorrect system designs. With this data insight at their disposal, businesses can identify energy-saving opportunities, optimise their systems, and monitor and record the future performance of all assets. 

RDM Solutions

Our control and monitoring system front-end DMTouch allows businesses to integrate their HVACR assets into a centrally controlled infrastructure. This includes third-party equipment as DMTouch communicates via open protocols and can manage existing third-party assets to create a streamlined building where assets cooperate. RDM's PLC software TDB can be enabled on DMTouch devices, allowing businesses to create a customised control and monitoring strategy for their facility.
