Secure Optimal Energy Performance for your Buildings HVAC

Building owners and operators are under pressure. Rising energy costs, stringent Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) regulations, and the growing need for net-zero operations are driving a need to heat and cool buildings more sustainably.

This includes maximising the efficiency of existing HVAC systems, transitioning to low carbon alternatives as cost and carbon-effectively as possible, and successfully operating new buildings in line with their predicted energy performance.

Maximise the potential of low carbon alternatives

Achieving net zero emissions requires significant reductions in gas consumption and transition to low carbon heating and cooling alternatives, such as heat pumps or connecting buildings to low carbon heat networks.

This presents a trilemma of competing priorities to be considered:

• Maximum CO2 savings
• Optimal capital investment costs
• Lowest possible operational energy cost impact

Hysopt helps building owners transition to low carbon alternatives in the most cost effective way.

By improving the efficiency of their HVAC systems, Hysopt helps building owners ensure their HVAC systems are “low carbon heat ready” before adopting new technologies, to avoid missed carbon savings, higher than necessary investment costs and avoidable operational energy cost inflation.

Nice components, under-performing systems

There is no shortage of innovative, energy efficient HVAC components and technologies available. However the optimal integration of these technologies on a system level is complex and increasingly impossible to achieve using traditional approaches to HVAC engineering.

This problem is made harder still for existing buildings where complex HVAC systems evolve over time through extensions, repairs, and upgrades, often obscuring the overall energy impact, or leaving unidentified energy saving potential on the table.

This is because a holistic system-wide approach is essential to understand how hundreds (sometimes thousands) of hydraulic system components and control systems interact – especially under continually varying operating conditions, not just peak demand periods.

4 steps to optimal HVAC performance

Hysopt’s HVAC digital twin provides deep, physics-based insights into the behaviour of your entire system; optimised solutions to be objectively explored; disconnects between design, installation and operation to be avoided; and optimal lifetime operational performance to be secured.

Resulting in lower energy costs, carbon emissions savings and optimal introduction of low carbon heating and cooling solutions to help building owners achieve their net-zero carbon goals.

1. Digitise

Digitise your entire system into an HVAC Digital Twin. Simulate its performance in a virtual environment to understand how it behaves, where and why it under-performs

2. Optimise

Simulate the impact of multiple optimisation solutions in the virtual model and compare against key performance metrics (opex, capex, carbon, comfort), before building them in real life

3. Decarbonise

Evaluate the impact of integrating low carbon technologies into your optimised installation and compare system alternatives

4. Digital Twin for life

Integrate the Digital Twin of your HVAC installation with your operations, main-tenance and asset management processes to secure lifetime operational efficiency

Gain control and optimise performance

Understand your existing HVAC system's performance, identify inefficiencies, and benchmark against optimal energy performance

Prioritise investments

Explore optimisation opportunities and make informed decisions about investments that balance energy cost reduction, carbon reduction, and capital cost optimisation

Future-proof your systems

Integrate HVAC system performance into your asset lifecycle plans and facility management systems to ensure ongoing efficiency
