Autonomous BAS Recommissioning: Real Results from a 1M Square Foot Office Building

Register

Abstract:

Learn the systematic framework and fundamentals for deploying automated commissioning technology in any building by learning  through a detailed case study of Varnado Realty Trust’s 90 Park Ave, a 990,000 square foot Midtown Manhattan office building. This session provides attendees with the technical requirements, implementation methodology, and best practices needed to replicate comprehensive BAS testing across 19,000+ points from multiple legacy multi-manufacturer and multi-generational building automation systems, while reducing commissioning time from weeks to days and uncovering previously hidden operational inefficiencies worth $235K annually.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Master the prerequisites and technical requirements for autonomous commissioning deployment, including BAS integration approaches, network connectivity, and cybersecurity specifications. Additionally, learn about the importance of data normalization strategies and the critical decision points for selecting buildings that are suitable for this methodology.
  2. Apply a proven phased implementation framework by understanding the step-by-step process from initial system assessment through remote connectivity establishment, test scenario configuration, execution protocols, and results interpretation—replicable across diverse building portfolios.
  3. Develop comprehensive testing strategies that for complex multi-system buildings by learning how to structure automated test sequences for central plants, air handlers, terminal units, and auxiliary systems that achieve 100% coverage while maintaining operational continuity and tenant comfort.
  4. Translate testing results into actionable remediation plans by analyzing real-world data patterns, prioritizing findings by energy impact and safety criticality, calculating ROI for identified improvements, and establishing ongoing monitoring protocols for continuous commissioning programs.
