Novo Nordisk
Download Case StudyChallenge:
The facility management team at the site was looking for more than just a BMS. They wanted an integrated solution that could provide better control, visibility, and energy savings from their HVAC infrastructure. The team was interested in a duct-level control that would give visibility of zone-wise comfort parameters to their operations team. While they wanted to improve the operational efficiency of the HVAC system and indoor air quality, they also wanted to provide a unique occupant experience at a competitive price point with a comfortable and pleasant work environment. 75F and Nhance Digital Buildtech partnered together to provide an end-to-end solution to Novo Nordisk. Nhance Digital Buildtech came up with the smart lighting and integrated dashboard solution to complement 75F’s HVAC and IoT BMS offerings.
Solution:
The Novo Nordisk team was looking for a solution that could be integrated with their workplace management platform. An important prerequisite was API integration functionality. Several BMS solutions were evaluated and eventually, 75F’s IoT-powered BMS was selected.
Execution:
The solution implemented was aimed at improving (OE)^2 i.e., to sense, learn, and deliver optimal Occupant Experience (OE) while improving Operational Efficiency (OE), to improve the overall productivity of employees. 75F installed dedicated smart duct dampers controlled by smart nodes along with the Intelligent Temperature Mote (ITM) in every cabin for personalized control and comfort. Similar smart duct dampers were installed with Ceiling Temperature Sensors in open work areas to ensure even temperature distribution.After a thorough analysis of the requirements and critical infrastructure systems, specialists at 75F implemented the following tailored solutions at the site :
Dynamic Chilled Water Balancing (DCWB):
DCWB provided a unique control solution for the chilled waterline of the AHU. Using the heat load demand for the space from the DAB algorithm, the DCWB algorithm optimized the chilled water flow by monitoring inlet and outlet CHW temperatures and controlling the CHW actuator. By integrating the 75F system with the existing BTU meter on-site, we provided visibility on energy consumption and savings on chilled water consumption.
Results:
Smart Solution for Incremental Energy Efficiency
The Novo Nordisk facility saved approximately 25,735 kWh of energy in the first 6 months of operations, achieving an average savings of 35%. Within 40 months, the facility saved 104,708 kWh, equating to a 29% energy savings. This significant reduction in energy consumption led to a decrease in CO2 emissions by 84.81 tons.
Fast and Easy Installation
The deep knowledge and rich expertise of 75F empowered the facility management team with quick installation, at zero downtime. The entire installation and commissioning took just 25 days! The state-of-the-art building management solutions deployed at Novo Nordisk provided a fully automated, comprehensive energy management and control system with unique AI-backed learning capabilities for incremental energy efficiency in line with the sustainability goals set by the Client.
Flexible Rezoning Capabilities
The wireless Smart Node and Smart Duct Damper infrastructure allowed flexibility to the Novo Nordisk facility team to rezone certain spaces as per their requirements without taking up significant retrofits on the ductwork.
Managed Services
75F's Managed Services Team took care of the site post-commissioning and made sure that the site operated at peak energy-efficiency levels.
