Outcome Summary
• 10% annual reduction in chiller energy consumption
• Improved uptime and operational efficiency
• Early detection of equipment risks and emissions insights
Overview
India’s largest publicly listed real estate company sought deeper visibility into its building operations to reduce energy consumption and align with its sustainability goals. Despite the property’s premium infrastructure, inefficient BMS operations and limited KPI visibility were driving up costs. Ecolibrium’s SmartSense was deployed at its premium corporate tower in Gurugram, spanning approximately 250,000–300,000 sq. ft. to streamline BMS performance, establish operational KPIs, and unlock energy efficiency through real-time insights.
Challenges Faced
The client faced rising operational costs despite low occupancy in a newly developed commercial tower. Their existing Building Management System (BMS) could not track critical KPIs across energy use, emissions, and uptime. Manual data collection and reactive maintenance further limited efficiency. The challenge was to optimise equipment performance, digitise monitoring, and establish a framework for sustainability metrics, without disrupting ongoing operations.
The Solution
Ecolibrium conducted a property-wide audit and integrated Ecolibrium SmartSense with over 1,800 sensor points spanning 91 key equipment. The platform enabled a centralised, single-pane view of energy data, Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and equipment-level KPIs. Ecolibrium SmartSense’s AI/ML algorithms powered condition-based monitoring and detected operational inefficiencies, including suboptimal chiller usage during non-peak hours and instances of harmonic distortion. Workshops were conducted to help the client decode data and set baselines for informed decision-making.
Ecolibrium SmartSense analysed 1800 + data points and monitored chiller plant systems, transformers, HVAC, Energy meters & BMS. Ecolibrium implemented operational excellence, sustainability, energy management, CO2e tracking and asset CBM/PDM solutions to resolve the challenges.
The Outcome
Achieved 10% annual chiller energy savings, improved operational efficiency, and reduced Scope 2 emissions. Ecolibrium SmartSense also detected harmonic distortion issues, preventing potential equipment downtime and improving system uptime. The platform helped identify and address continuous chiller usage during off-peak hours, directly contributing to compressor health and reducing energy waste.
The Impact
Ecolibrium SmartSense delivered real-time energy insights, automated KPI tracking, and condition-based monitoring across 1,800 sensors and 91 equipment. It established performance KPIs for energy, uptime, and emissions while automating alerts for load deviations. The system significantly enhanced chiller plant operations, especially during non-peak hours, and reduced manual tracking with 24/7 real-time monitoring, setting a benchmark for operational excellence and scalable digital transformation.
