A recent case study from ABI Advantage and SkyFoundry takes a closer look at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Washington, D.C. Built in 1922, the building faced significant challenges in meeting DC’s Building Energy Performance Standards.
With an ENERGY STAR score below the required threshold, the team turned to a Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx) approach using SkyFoundry’s SkySpark® platform. By digging into the data and working closely across teams, they were able to spot issues, fine-tune operations, and make meaningful improvements.
A case study from the University of California, Riverside highlights an innovative energy-efficiency pilot in its School of Business Building.
Led by UC Riverside’s Energy & Engineering team, the project leverages SkySpark® advanced analytics to optimize building performance, reduce energy consumption, and strengthen campus-wide sustainability efforts. The pilot demonstrates how data-driven insights can uncover hidden inefficiencies, improve operational performance, and deliver measurable results.
