Energy Outlier Example

A customer site had a localized ground strike (lighting striking the ground near the site – can cause electrical damage in improperly grounded circuits) in August of 2010. A long-term pattern of increased usage drove the site to a high priority energy outlier status that ultimately resulted in a physical audit of the site. The audit revealed that five lighting contactors controlling more than 30% of the store lighting had been fused shut resulting in the affected lights staying on 24x7 (9 hours per day excess) consuming an unnecessary 450kWh of electricity per day – the annualized cost of the excess energy consumed was over $13,000.

Device Exception Example

A device exception at a retail client site indicated a failure of an HVAC in a shared sales space served by nineteen HVAC units. Prompt dispatch of an HVAC technician to diagnose and repair indicated that failing unit had clogged filters and coils as well as a low coolant charge as a result of a small leak. More importantly, discussion with the client facility team indicated the site was under an HVAC preventative maintenance program and should have been serviced the month before the failure of the identified unit. Since the preventative maintenance provider failed to properly provide the PM services for which they were contracted, they repaired the unit at no cost.

Eliminate waste by taking action

at underperforming sites

The managed services offering uses a variety of indicators as the basis of service; two of the most

prevalent are energy outliers (sites consuming materially more energy than they have historically)

and device level exceptions (where a sensor or control mechanism indicates that a device at the

site isn’t behaving as expected).

Maximize kWh savings, identify set point drifts, and pinpoint equipment failures

A key component of the Site Controls platform is the cloud-based Data Center that provides advanced energy reporting, operational dashboards, and comprehensive site analytics. Every four hours, this system generates a prioritized list of the specific systems that require service across your fleet. Up to a thousand action items can be generated each day, which can make analyzing and taking action daunting. When you subscribe to Managed Services with Siemens, our team of experts collaborates with your facilities team, IT department, and store managers to identify equipment that is not operating at specified levels, prioritize problems, and produce actionable information that can be used to pinpoint locations that need attention first. Taking fast action on this information can increase energy savings up to an additional 6%.

Managed Services Solutions for Data Center analytics includes:

• Siemens post-processing analysis with timely and prioritized event reporting by maintenance severity, energy consumption (kWh), and comfort

• Identification of underperforming equipment, sites not managed to standards and outline recommended action steps

• Process integration

Prevent store closures by remotely identifying HVAC & Lighting problems

We can help you identify irregular operating and

maintenance patterns to protect your customer experience and brand. Investigating temperature exceptions or lighting schedules based on occupancy and communicating those issues to on-site technicians fosters fast action, including HVAC failures that could temporarily close a store.

• Remote diagnostics & resolution to EMS device exceptions • Remote HVAC override to OFF with notification

Avert unnecessary HVAC and lighting service calls

Quickly troubleshoot individual store issues with email and phone support

With Site Controls, headquarters’ sets each store’s

temperature and lighting levels and coordinates these levels with store operating hours, weekend and holiday peaks, and seasonal changes. However, there are reasons for store-level overrides and troubleshooting. Enterprises with hundreds or even thousands of locations need knowledgeable technical support available to ensure each store is operating smoothly and efficiently. This dedicated team is uniquely trained to provide assistance with EMS component issues, site communications, and HVAC mechanical system support.

Siemens specialists are ready to field daily inbound calls and answer emails Monday - Friday, 7:00 am to 8:00 pm Central Standard Time, to provide timely answers for: • EMS device events

• Monitored/controlled client equipment events • Site level standards compliance & troubleshooting
