AlfaTech Filtered Hundreds of Fault Flags Across Analog Devices' Portfolio Down to Four Repeatable Actions, Saving $120–140K/Year
The KODE Labs platform integrated Analog Devices' first three campuses in 90 days and surfaced hundreds of fault flags; far more than the Analog team was prepared to address.
That's where AlfaTech's building analyst service earns its keep. In the first 30 days after integration, AlfaTech triaged the fault output, applied resolution plans, and quantified each finding with an economic justification. They were able to simplify and prioritize the faults into four repeatable quick-win items for the Analog Devices team.
The four: simultaneous heating and cooling (air handling units fighting fan coils, no clear winners), fixed-speed equipment running suboptimally, continuous overnight cooling, and setback schedule gaps that ran systems harder than the spaces required.
"How does the owner know what to act on? They're already strapped on time," said Sergey Gutkin, Head of Smart Buildings at AlfaTech. The four insights, addressed across central plant, rooftop equipment, and zone-level systems, equate to an estimated $120,000 to $140,000 per year in energy savings.
The savings haven't been validated yet. KODE Labs is now ingesting utility data so the numbers can be proven against utility billing.
Analytics tools can surface hundreds of problems, but that alone doesn't mean progress. The work that turns flags into savings is the analyst layer that filters and ranks. Without that layer, the platform is a faster way to generate to-do items.
For Analog Devices, four types of addressable work order items created a manageable queue for the team to act upon.

This is a great piece!
I agree.
