Among the attendees where Messrs: Mario Poirier, Property Manager of the Palais des Congrès; Geoff Munro, Chief Scientist and Assistant Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Canada; Gilles Jean, director of CanmetÉNERGIE and Xavier Bonifay, IFCS president.
The event brought key players from the Quebec real estate sector and the dedicated press together, it was a unique opportunity for the DABO software public presentation. DABO is a powerful real-time analysis and diagnostic tool used for a building’s continuous HVAC systems operations optimization. Constant air quality and occupant comfort zones monitoring, generates energy savings and contributes points to LEED and BOMA BESt accreditation. DABO is a unique, world level technological innovation and the culmination of ten years of research and development by CanmetENERGY laboratories of Natural Resources Canada of Varennes.
DABO advantages
- Ensures (24/7) constant monitoring of building operations and electromechanical systems
- Real-time component fault, abnormal behavior and operational anomalies detection
- Produce diagnostic reports, suggest corrective measures and issue work orders
- Anticipate problems and minimize occupant complaints
- Allows system performance optimization, generating substantial energy savings
- Enables efficient scheduling of corrective maintenance team interventions
- Generates a report detailing the history of the electromechanical system’s operation, its faults and the corrective measures implemented
- Is an essential tool for managing operational documentation, indispensable for a quality assurance policy (ISO)
- Ensures continuous operational efficiency, crucial for ongoing commissioning
- Contributes to obtaining LEED certification
- Has been tested in large buildings
DABO targets
- Facility operation managers
- Operators of heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
- Heads of corrective maintenance teams
- Ongoing commissioning professionals
Le Palais des Congrès de Montréal intended an energy consumption reduction of 25%. Following its DABO implementation, a $1,000,000+ savings of over two years has been achieved.
Mario Poirier, director of real estate convention center testifies:
'We were already very efficient in the technical management of our building ... DABO allowed us to go much further! "
"The gains achieved so far justify our desire to continue our continuous optimization activities with DABO"
