Case Study: Large College cuts energy waste by 25% with ecoDriver

Large College - Customer Case Study

ecoDriver was engaged by Large College to address significant energy waste in one of its buildings. An initial energy audit revealed that the building's energy consumption profile did not align with its occupancy schedule, indicating that systems were operating unnecessarily during evenings and weekends. The challenge was to identify the root cause of this wasteful out-of-hours operation.

The ecoDriver team used their energy management platform to conduct a detailed audit, which uncovered a conflict in the building management system that prevented proper HVAC schedules from being enacted. By revising the control strategy and schedules, ecoDriver resolved the issue. This resulted in a 70-80% reduction in weekend energy consumption, a 30-40% reduction on weekdays, and an overall electricity reduction of approximately 25% for the college.
