Smarter HVAC, Smarter Services: Maximize Client CAEs with CoolAutomation
The CAE, or Certificado de Ahorro Energético System, is Spain’s answer to rising environmental concerns and calls to reduce energy consumption across Europe.
While the CAE system offers a good balance between incentivizing energy savings and applying excessive coercion on the public, it is more complex than equivalent European regulations, making it difficult for many to navigate effectively.
This is where Delegados come into the picture, helping both residential and commercial buildings optimize energy-saving efforts, comply with Spanish Government regulations for more CAEs, and significantly reduce energy consumption. One main challenge facing Delegados in this endeavor is achieving a significant reduction in HVAC system electrical consumption. This article will offer a comprehensive solution.
Intelligent Solutions for Efficient HVAC Energy Management
With HVAC systems accounting for up to 70% of buildings’ energy consumption, it is no wonder that optimizing their power usage is a top priority for Delegados. However, this can often be complex and costly.CoolAutomation’s solutions enable Delegados to deliver clients superior energy savings, meet regulatory requirements, and increase CAE output: Enhancing customer satisfaction and generating a reputation boost.
BMS Integration
When a BMS is already installed in a client's building, CoolAutomation simplifies the integration process, making it fast and seamless. Traditionally, setting up a connection between a BMS and HVAC systems requires unique expertise and a lot of wrangling. This is an expensive and lengthy process that also tends to be unreliable.Using CoolAutomation’s universal HVAC gateways, which are natively compatible with all major HVAC and building management system brands, integration becomes a simple, reliable, plug-and-play process. This not only ensures customers a streamlined transition with more reliable energy management, but also helps improve the Delegado’s operational efficiency.
Cloud-Based HVAC System Control, Management, and Diagnostics
When a client wishes to focus on dedicated HVAC system consumption optimization, CoolAutomation’s cloud-based HVAC system monitoring, management, and diagnostic solutions are a smart, convenient choice. By leveraging real-time monitoring and advanced automation, Delegados can help customers achieve significant energy savings with minimal effort.One of the key advantages of CoolAutomation’s cloud-based solutions is the ability to remotely monitor energy usage down to the level of individual indoor units and identify wasteful patterns both in real time and over extended periods. The platform alerts users of inefficiencies via routine reports and notifications, enabling them to create rules limiting operating hours and setpoints according to real-world needs. This reduces consumption while ensuring that tenant comfort is maintained.
Beyond automation, our Predictive Maintenance Suite takes energy optimization a step further. By continuously tracking technical parameters, detecting abnormal energy-intensive behaviors, and issuing alerts, our system helps site managers address issues before they escalate. This not only reduces unnecessary energy consumption but also prevents equipment wear and extends system longevity.
