Case Study: Gemdale USA achieves greater energy efficiency and savings with Gridium

CBRE and Gemdale USA Keep a San Francisco Icon Running at Maximum Efficiency With Minimum Effort

Gemdale USA, owner of the San Francisco office tower 350 Bush Street, needed a better way to monitor utility usage, control energy costs, and prepare for ENERGY STAR certification without burdening its busy property team. The building was already highly efficient, but small drift and data-gathering delays made it difficult for Gemdale USA and its property manager to spot issues quickly or access the information needed for budgeting and certification.

Gridium provided its energy analytics platform, weekly variance summary emails, and analyst support to centralize building data and flag performance changes. With Gridium, the team quickly identified an unexpected City of San Francisco audit exemption and uncovered a hidden BMS error before it became costly, helping Gemdale USA keep energy spend under control and maintain smooth operations.
