hospital was effectively paying to simultaneously
cool and reheat the air while placing unnecessary
strain on its equipment-all to satisfy one room.
Traditionally, this might have gone unnoticed,
but the dashboard allowed the gas expense spike
to become very noticeable. That prompted closer
review of how the building systems were being
operated and led to identifying the source of the
problem and corrective action that saved an estimated $41,000 annually.

Perhaps the greatest potential use of
the dashboard is as a troubleshooting
tool and early warning system.
The bottom line
The energy dashboard is an economical addition to
a facility project that offers a lot of potential to save
owners money, especially when it's incorporated
during the design phase. While it's possible to add
an energy dashboard after a building is in operation,
this requires the shutdown of utilities in order to add
meters. Software for controls and programming is
also more easily integrated into a building automation system during original construction.
Another possible application is to display some
energy information in a lobby kiosk, where it could
serve as an incentive for employees to turn off lights
and participate in energy-saving strategies, and as a
visible way to demonstrate the hospital's sustainability commitment to building users.
The University of Kansas Hospital is now planning a new hospital and is pursuing an energy dashboard for that site, too. "The energy dashboard is a
vital tool for our implementation and development
of energy savings initiatives and strategies," says
Adam Zorn, capital project manager at the hospital.
"It serves as both a real-time, daily verification of the
system efficiency and as an important part of our
predictive maintenance process." HCD
