Project description
Since 2025, we have been supporting the University of Vienna in optimising the operation of four central existing sites. The aim of the project is to use a combination of technical monitoring (TMon) and detailed energy consumption analyses (EM) to review the performance of the technical building systems, identify optimisation potential and thus sustainably reduce energy consumption, system wear and tear and operating costs.
Our services at a glance:
Technical monitoring & energy consumption analysis
Operational optimisation is based on the quarterly review of system operation under real conditions. Seasonal peculiarities (e.g. heating period, summer operation) are taken into account. With the help of our ISO 50001-certified monitoring software, control logics are digitally modelled and compared with real-time data from the building management system. This allows malfunctions, inefficient operating states and technical defects to be recognised at an early stage.
Development of measures & implementation
The optimisation potential identified is documented clearly in the form of lists of measures and test reports and regularly discussed in workshops with the university's facility management team. Following approval, selected measures are implemented and their impact on energy consumption, comfort and operation evaluated as the project progresses.
Successful application in practice
Our experience shows that the combination of TMon and EM can achieve energy savings of at least 15 % - and in some cases significantly more. In addition to the cost reduction, the university benefits from improved user comfort and a longer life cycle of the system technology.
Building up the client's expertise
A central goal of the project is also the transfer of know-how: through close cooperation with the university's technical operating staff, internal skills in the areas of building optimisation, control technology and energy management are strengthened in the long term.
