- Tools 3 March 2016 Building Efficiency (BuildingOS) Optimize building performanceBy aggregating real-time data across your portfolio, the Heatmap App powerfully and visually displays scheduling inefficiencies; and the Building Drift App detects when your building startup or shut-down times change or baseload use increases. Together, these applications allow you to tune up your buildings and keep them efficient over the long term.Manage peak demandMore than 40% of utility bills are attributed to peak demand charges. BuildingOS uses machine…
- News 19 February 2016 Danfoss Pledges to Cut Energy Consumption in Half by 2030 Danfoss, a world leading provider of energy efficient technologies and solutions for heating and cooling systems, is accelerating its energy efficiency efforts by introducing ambitious climate targets. Noting that most of the world’s energy consumption comes from industry and buildings, has focused its Climate Strategy 2030 on doing more with less in its own business processes, production and buildings. By 2030, the company aims to run its business using half as much energy and emitting half as…
- News 18 February 2016 Accelerating Energy Efficiency under SE4All The Paris Agreement has added urgency to the quest for a doubling of rates of energy efficiency improvement as universally agreed in the 7th Sustainable Development Goal in September at the United Nations. With zero net emissions in the global economy an inevitable outcome of the ambition of the Paris Agreement, and with NDCs mapping out a future temperature rise of more than 3 degrees, as opposed to the agreed limit of below 2 degrees, it is clear that the key to making our ambitions a reality…
