Analysis by hand is dead. Simulations drive value.

What Did We Do

As part of Bractlet’s onboarding process, the capital plans for the two buildings were ingested into our software and analyzed. Our software and digital twinning process flagged the unique characteristic of the chillers being in the same building and in need of replacement. Leveraging a database of projects created from experience and data, Bractlet identified an opportunity to implement a more efficient, more resilient, and faster payback option than the solution the contractor had proposed to the customer. Using the Digital Energy Twin(TM) of the building, Bractlet simulated an alternative path for the client. Since the chillers were located in the same building, they could be piped together, which enabled the implementation of advanced control algorithms to optimize chiller staging for both energy and maintenance, while increasing resiliency of the entire two building system. Both the originally proposed solution by the contractor and the newly identified solution were simulated using the 98%+ accurate Digital Energy Twin of the buildings, allowing financial decision-makers to apply a consistent methodology in analyzing both options and confidently make the best decision for their buildings.
