🌍 World Energy Efficiency Day – Efficiency First, Flexibility Second🌱 Recently, energy flexibility has become a hot topic in many industries. With demand response schemes and utilizing on-site generation, electrical and thermal storage, and load shifting, we’ve unlocked huge cost-saving potential. The key to making this work? Predictive control strategies that adjust to fluctuating renewable energy sources and dynamic energy prices, especially in energy-intensive systems like cooling, heating, and ventilation. This is exactly where AI-driven control optimization comes in, and we’re proud to implement it across a variety of industries. But here’s the thing: Before we jump into introducing flexibility, we must first focus on ENERGY EFFICIENCY. This World Energy Efficiency Day should be a reminder that there’s still untapped potential to make energy systems more efficient. In our ongoing optimization projects, we continue to witness incredible amounts of energy waste due to rigid, conventional control systems. These systems don’t adapt to changing variables or properly orchestrate energy converters in cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. The results speak for themselves: We’re literally burning energy and money. Take, for example, the success we’ve had with numerous projects in data centers, automotive, and the pharma/chemical industries. We’re excited to share next week a new success story for AI-driven ventilation optimization that achieved almost 70% energy savings for a leading automotive manufacturer! These aren’t just cost-saving projects—they’re reshaping energy usage in some of the most energy-hungry sectors of the automotive industry. By optimizing ventilation systems with AI, we’re helping our partners reduce carbon emissions, increase operational efficiency, and create smarter, more adaptive energy systems. And here’s the exciting part: Energy Efficiency and Energy Flexibility go hand in hand. By combining dynamic predictive optimization with real-time energy pricing and peak load management, we’re not just reducing costs; we’re improving the overall integration of renewable energy into the grid. In the case of ventilation, think of the air mass and building envelope as a massive thermal storage tank. By operating within set air quality limits, we sometimes see that stepping away from the most energy-efficient operation can actually increase overall efficiency—particularly when we factor in grid-supportive behavior and renewable energy integration. 🌱 The future of energy is about balancing these elements for a more sustainable and cost-effective world.
