“Atrius gives me the ability to easily benchmark building performance data, view it in real-time, and set consumption alerts. When I’m looking at the real-time consumption data for a particular building, I can compare current performance to known baselines. If I knew that a 40,000-square-foot building should have a peak demand of about 100 kW under our new mechanical systems, I’ll have the Atrius platform alert me if the building exceeds that threshold. The alert serves as an early warning that something might be going wrong, and I can quickly deploy technicians.”
Justin Owen, Energy Manager, Weber State University
