Natick, MA - - PowerNet Software™ announced its partnership with Abacus Engineered Systems in the Continuous Commissioning Diagnostics Project administered by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (Alliance). PowerNet, a provider of advanced diagnostic software, and Abacus, a leader in energy performance contracting, will jointly implement and monitor the project to demonstrate the effectiveness of PowerVisor™ in reducing costs, improving comfort, and creating energy savings in the continuous commissioning process.
The Companies will
implement PowerVisor as the advanced diagnostic software of Abacus' Advanced
Diagnostic Center ("ADC") to deliver real-time, remote, automated
diagnostics in four buildings with varied continuous commissioning integration
challenges. The ADC is an enhancement to the performance contracting services
currently provided by Abacus, and therefore, will clearly distinguish the
effectiveness of PowerVisor's operations, performance and energy diagnostics in
the improvement of system performance and energy savings.
The Alliance will validate the effectiveness of PowerVisor and accelerate the adoption of continuous commissioning, based on the expertise and broad experience of Abacus as a performance contractor. In the project, Abacus will create standards for qualified software providers and initiate ongoing professional development for commissioning providers. In conjunction with PowerNet Software, they will establish guidelines and timelines for project implementation, as well as performance benchmarks for the software. These include target values for reduced energy consumption, aggregate building energy performance, comfort levels, and cumulative energy savings. In addition to performing continuous commissioning services, including ongoing data collection and analysis, Abacus will determine estimated energy and non-energy benefits of PowerVisor resulting from the resolution of performance issues revealed by diagnostic analysis.
