Fault Detection And Diagnostic Analytics

How BuildingFit Works

BuildingFit™ is a Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD), analytics and visualization platform that identifies opportunities, to make buildings more energy efficient, reliable, comfortable, and safe. Engineered for large quantities of data from disparate sources such as building automation systems (BAS) and smart IoT devices, BuildingFit™ insights are delivered through analytics, Key Performance Indicators (KPI), automated reports, and interactive dashboards that help users prioritize daily operations, minimize energy waste and reduce costs.

Making Data Useful

50 Million+ square feet of successful deployments

Leverages 31+ years of energy engineering experience

200+ ANALYTICS AND 50+ KPIs

SkySpark® Premier Partner

BuildingFit grew out of ETC Group, an energy engineering firm with 30 years of experience. After supporting ETC Group’s retrocommissioning, commissioning and monitoring-based commissioning projects, BuildingFit now offers its services to other engineering firms, controls contractors, service providers, and directly to clients.

We are engineers, programmers, mathematicians and data scientists. We are passionate about reducing energy use through the creative application of modern data analysis.

What are Fault Detection and Diagnostic (FDD) Analytics?

Predictive | Real-Time | Robust

Analytics are more than simple alarms, notifying when equipment is out of its set points. Analytics works by identifying patterns in the data from the equipment systems and devices that make the built environment possible. Patterns may represent faults, deviations, trends, or anomalies – almost all are opportunities for savings and improved performance.

  • Data Visualization: Monitor building performance data (or multiple buildings) in one, unified

software dashboard

  • Fault Detection: Pre-empt possible building system errors or anomalies with fault detection

alerts, enabling corrective actions to building systems before a failure occurs

  • Automated Analytics: Maintain building performance goals of energy efficiency, comfort and

compliance by enabling monitoring-based commissioning

  • Performance Metrics: Track and report on KPIs (key performance indicators) using insightful reports

and leveraging historical building performance data.

True analytics allow the use of multiple data sources, with different protocols and different time sampling frequencies. This allows for analytic rules that look for correlations between equipment age regardless of manufacturer, performance, energy use, service history, weather conditions, and more.

BuildingFit collects diverse data, applies fault detection, advanced and predictive analytics, to deliver

clear and actionable insights.

BuildingFit transforms complex building-related data into quantifiable, actionable insights through one, web-enabled interface. Users can access information from anywhere and perform deep, drill-down capabilities for troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.  The benefits of Fault Detection and Diagnostics analytics include:

 

  • Reduced energy waste and lower operating costs
  • Comfortable, safe, reliable, and compliant environments for all occupants
  • Protection for and extended life of equipment investments
  • Ensure compliance across the entire building, especially critical spaces.
