Energy Optimization at ACCS: A Strategic Alliance Between Building Automation and Energy Efficiency

Maintaining and enhancing the performance of a building or or real estate portfolio requires rigorous cost management and continuous system optimization. Energy consumption represents a significant operational expense and underperforming or poorly configured HVAC systems can lead to substantial and avoidable energy waste.

ACCS positions itself as a strategic partner in operational and energy optimization. By combining expertise in building automation (building management and automation systems) with energy efficiency, we deliver solutions that act directly on system control and energy consumption.

“At ACCS, we are strengthening our energy services and our ability to monitor building performance in real time. I am proud to see our Energy team grow and join forces with our Control specialists. Together, we offer our clients a winning formula that supports the operational, energy, and financial performance of their buildings—today and for the long term.” — Simon Fournier, President of ACCS.

Our Services for More Efficient Buildings

To maximize HVAC system efficiency and generate energy savings, we offer a range of tailored services:

• Energy Efficiency Projects: Our team conducts feasibility studies to quantify savings potential, as well as energy efficiency projects based on advanced HVAC control measures, ensuring a rapid return on investment (ROI).

• Control Projects with Energy-Saving Strategies: For every new automation project, the Energy team is involved from the early stages to integrate energy-saving strategies. The building management system is therefore designed from the outset to maximize energy performance.

• Continuous Energy Monitoring (Monitoring-Based Commissioning – MBCx): We remotely monitor buildings through a continuous loop of monitoring, investigation, and implementation of optimized control sequences to prevent energy drift and sustain long-term savings.

• Peak Demand Management (PDM): We design and implement predictive control sequences that reduce peak power demand during critical peak periods (especially in winter). This results in significant reductions in energy costs while maintaining occupant comfort.

The Power of Synergy: Energy and Controls

Our energy efficiency specialists work in close collaboration with our building controls experts. This integrated approach is at the core of our methodology and ensures sustainable, long-term energy performance.
