Making your building’s operations more efficient saves money, pays for improvements and strengthens your bottom line.

For example, the owners of the Empire State Building are implementing a retrofit program to make their building 38 percent more energy efficient. Other office buildings are scheduling cleaning service shifts to overlap regular work hours so the lights and HVAC won’t have to stay on at night. You can achieve operational efficiencies like these, too.

For example, by replacing old windows with windows that let light in but keep heat out, you can illuminate and cool building interiors more efficiently. By upgrading or replacing old, inefficient HVAC equipment, you can reduce energy consumption. You can optimize your building’s efficiency, comfort and safety by utilizing our Metasys® building management system to control and integrate key mechanical and electrical building systems – HVAC, lighting, security, fire and safety. In so doing, you will also enhance the productivity of your facilities staff. By using real-time building performance data from Metasys, you can make more informed decisions to further reduce operating costs. And, by taking advantage of wireless technologies, you’ll find it’s not necessary to rip out walls and cabling to install temperature, humidity and lighting controls. That saves money.

By deploying state-of-the-art surveillance systems and access control security systems you will be better able to safeguard employees and visitors as well as valuable building assets. As an added efficiency benefit, these surveillance systems enable individual security staffers to monitor more areas, freeing coworkers for other security tasks.

With reliable power and precise climate control in place, sensitive facilities such as data centers and research labs stay up and running and avoid downtime that could jeopardize critical projects and lead to higher costs.

Plus, by designing workplaces that use space more efficiently for the number of people actually working there, you have another opportunity to reduce operating costs. And when your workplaces are more efficient, so are your workers. Studies show that cleaner, greener, more comfortable workplaces boost productivity and reduce absenteeism.
