Save the Dates for FEMP's Re-Tuning Challenge Workshops
Re-tuning is proven to be a cost-effective method for identifying savings opportunities through the building automation system (BAS). Completed facility re-tunings have resulted in a 5 to 25% savings with a simple payback of 0.3 to 3.5 years. These on-site workshops provide insights into re-tuning principles and instruct practitioners on how to apply the re-tuning approach. This includes the use of interval metered data and BAS trend data to uncover potential opportunities, and a checklist approach to evaluating building energy systems for best practice controls. Registration will open soon for FEMP's re-tuning challenge workshops in the following locations:
- Tuesday, October 15 - Thursday, October 17, 2019 at the Arraj U.S. Courthouse in Denver, CO (SESSION FULL)
- Tuesday, October 29 - Thursday, October 31, 2019 at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT
