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 partnered together to provide an end-to-end solution to Novo Nordisk. nhance came up with the smart lighting & integrated dashboard solution to complement our offerings.
Solution:
The Novo Nordisk team was looking for a solution that could be integrated with their workplace management platform, hence a solution that had API integration was a prerequisite. 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 the 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 a personalized level of control and comfort. Similar smart duct dampers were installed with Ceiling Temperature Sensors in open work areas to ensure even temperature.
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 at the site we provided visibility on energy consumption and savings on chilled water consumption.
Results:
•Smart Solution for Incremental Energy Efficiency: The Novo Nordisk facility team has achieved energy savings of ~25,735 kWh within the 6 months of operations, achieving an average saving of 35% across the period. In the last 3 months from Oct to Dec 2022 the client has achieved an energy saving of 12618.4 kWh. •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 merely 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 clients. •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 ductworks•Managed Services: 75F's Managed services team took care of the site post-commissioning and made sure that the site operated at peak of energy efficiency.
