Award-Winning Infometrics Service to Commission New York State's Renovated Hughes Office Building

June 20, 2007

Cimetrics announced today that they have been awarded a contract to commission the newly renovated Sen. John H. Hughes State Office Building in Syracuse. The facility is managed by the New York State Office of General Services. Rather than a one-time commissioning process, continuous commissioning (monitoring and optimizing building systems 24/7/365 to ensure that they are working at peak efficiency) was chosen to keep the facility operating smoothly over the long term. While state-of-the-art building systems were installed as part of the upgrade, this process will keep the newly efficient building operating as it should. The Infometrics service will enable reduced inefficiencies in the new HVAC equipment, a strategy which will minimize energy consumption and CO2 emissions at the facility. It will also provide a mechanism to streamline maintenance, detect hidden faults and inefficiencies and manage systems proactively to avoid system downtime, all while ensuring occupant comfort and indoor air quality.

Cutting-Edge Technology For Remote Ongoing Commissioning

Infometrics is the leading service for remote monitoring and ongoing commissioning of building systems. An Infometrics program provides powerful algorithm-based analysis of continuously collected building automation data. Valuable unbiased periodic reports enable clients to optimize efficiency and comfort, lower maintenance costs, and effectively manage facility staff and contractors while reducing energy consumption.

Infometrics Reduces Energy Use, Maintenance Costs and CO2 Emissions

Infometrics recommendations optimize mechanical and operational efficiency, catching potential problems before they become noticeable and keeping systems running smoothly and efficiently. The information provided enables proactive rather than reactive system maintenance, minimizing costly downtime and extending equipment life. Using secure Internet transmission, Infometrics can upload and analyze the performance of multiple vendors' equipment, anywhere in the world. And Infometrics reports quantify CO2 emissions reductions and calculate the annual energy cost of each problem.
