Chiller Plant Energy Optimization

Lower Energy Cost | Higher Reliability | No Disruption

Reduce 30–40% of cooling energy cost by optimizing how your chiller plant actually operates
without changing your BAS, control logic, or daily operations.

The Problem We Solve

Cooling systems are typically the single largest controllable energy load in commercial buildings.

Most chiller plants:

  • Are designed for peak load

  • Operate at part load for the majority of the year

  • Are controlled using static logic

Most energy waste happens during normal operation — not peak conditions.

This leads to conservative operation, hidden inefficiencies, and unnecessary energy cost.

Our Value Proposition

Optimize energy use without disrupting how your building operates.

  • No BAS changes

  • No shutdowns

  • No vendor lock-in

  • No control logic replacement

  • Can be disabled anytime to revert to normal BAS operation

Carve Performance works on top of your existing system, not against it.

How Carve Performance Works

AI Optimization Overlay

Carve Performance deploys a dedicated AI box with project-specific sensors, running a continuously learning optimization algorithm.

System Components

  • AI Box
    Collects real-time operational data and runs optimization logic locally.

  • Sensors
    Capture key plant signals where BAS data is limited or unavailable.

  • Optimization Algorithm
    Continuously adjusts setpoints during part-load operation to eliminate waste.

Important:

  • No replacement of existing controls

  • No modification to BAS logic

  • Can be disabled at any time to instantly revert to normal BAS operation

How it Works

  1. Data Collection
    BAS data + supplemental sensor inputs feed the AI box in real time.

  2. Learning & Baseline
    The system learns your plant’s normal behavior and constraints.

  3. Continuous Optimization
    Setpoints are optimized dynamically during part-load operation.

  4. Verification
    Performance is tracked and validated against baseline conditions.

Simple deployment. Minimal effort. No disruption.

  • Normal building operation continues throughout

  • No shutdowns or re-commissioning required

  • No interference with operator workflows

Savings come from improving day-to-day operational efficiency, not changing equipment

  • Lower energy cost from part-load optimization

  • Higher reliability through stabilized operation

  • Measurable results backed by data

Best results come from systems that already operate reliably, but conservatively.

Ideal for:

  • Central chiller plants

  • Commercial & institutional buildings

  • Facilities with stable operations and BAS infrastructure

Service Model just like your TV cable service.

  • Assessment first

  • Proceed only when expected results are clear

  • Continue only while value is delivered
