DABO®
DABO® ADDS INTELLIGENCE AND MEMORY TO A BUILDING’S OPERATING SYSTEM
Proven on large projects, DABO® ensures building’s electromechanical systems (24/7) monitoring. It performs real-time fault detection, flags abnormal component behavior and operational anomalies. In addition to contributing to the achievement of the LEED accreditation, this high-performance building operational management tool, anticipates problems and minimizes occupant complaints.
DABO® users include:
- facility operation managers
- operators of heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
- heads of maintenance teams
- ongoing commissioning professionals
DABO® is :
A structured database, that collects information received from the central building automation system. In addition to climate conditions and energy consumption, it retrieves data collected by sensors and other components of the electromechanical system such as the temperature, air flow rate, static pressure, position of dampers, and the performance of service equipment. DABO® is composed of 800 expert rules for consistency analysis, efficiency assessment and good operating practices and 275 performance indicators to help identify non-optimal operation and under or over-designed components.
DABO® USES CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY ECLIPSING OTHER SOFTWARE AND WEB SOLUTIONS
DABO® is a continuous optimization tool based on fault detection principles, performance analysis and documented historical data compilation. Highly sophisticated, this building management tool identifies problems in real-time and suggest immediately applicable solutions.
Other tools:
Usually, energy consumption monitoring software, flags abnormal consumption rates but provides no indication as to the source of the problem (was it a change in building activities? an operational anomaly? inefficiency of a piece of equipment? an issue with the calibration of a sensor? ... ).
Energy cost monitoring software has the same shortcomings as consumption analysis software, in addition to taking several weeks to produce the information.
As for ongoing commissioning web services, they all have the same problem, which is that they have exclusive ownership of the information collected in the building. The client has no leeway and must pay for additional analyzes. If the subscription to the service is not renewed, the compiled history is permanently lost.
Therefore, DABO® has the edge over other technological tools that provide building operation assistance. Based on 10 years of research and development in Canada, in cooperation with an international team of experts, DABO® maintains a significant competitive advantage by being several years ahead of the technology curve over other market solutions.
