Buildings can no longer be operated with a singular focus on separate systems like HVAC, electrical, lighting, tenant usage patterns, and the building envelope – NOT if it is to function as a high performing building. And, because buildings do not operate in a static state, they must be constantly managed to keep pace with an ever-changing facility environment. Here at Converge Systems Company in Miami, FL, we seek to CONVERGE people, technology, and systems with our building systems technology, to come up with the most creative and effective solutions for energy optimization. By employing a combination of preventive maintenance with predictive and prescriptive measures we can find ways to improve a buildings net operating income, increase the ROI on energy conservation measures, and ultimately improve the value of the building asset through comprehensive building management systems.

According to the Building Owners & Management Association (BOMA), in the life cycle of a building, approximately 31% of the operating expense will be attributed to the cost of utilities while another 23% to ongoing maintenance & repair.

Further, when you consider that according to the Energy Information Administration, 47% of a building’s typical energy use is attributable to the HVAC systems, it becomes apparent that traditional methods of operating and maintenance (O&M) are not best suited for today’s building environment.

Traditional building O&M does not take into account effects on the cost of building administration and utilities. By changing the perspective, we can identify solutions that can positively affect almost 54% of a building’s activities. Gains of 5% – 20% on utility bills can be easily achieved without requiring major capital investments, and these dollars are immediately “released” to be applied to more critical needs or perhaps higher earning building investments.

Harvesting a significant return on energy initiatives is not solely the domain of large buildings. According to the CBESC, over 99% of the buildings in the commercial market are under 200,000 SF, those buildings are using 75% of the total energy consumed by all commercial buildings. Whether your facility is large or small, we can help you implement energy optimization measures that are both feasible and cost effective.

At Converge Systems Company we focus on getting the most out of the O&M portion of the building’s life cycle. The cost of designing and constructing a new HVAC system is only about 5%-10% of the total building life cycle cost while the cost of operation which represents about 60%-85%! We believe that better data allows for better and more informed decisions.
