Case Study: Orange County Office Space achieves $45,933 in OPEX savings with Gridium

Orange County Office Space Uses Data Analytics to Lower OPEX $45,933

A 255,000‑SF, two‑building Class‑A office campus in South Orange County faced rising OPEX from hard early‑morning starts and unpredictable peak demand charges in a hot, sometimes humid climate, which were difficult to diagnose from monthly utility bills alone.

Gridium deployed cloud‑based smart‑meter analytics (Snapmeter for load‑curve monitoring and peak forecasting, and Billcast for bill monitoring and savings verification) with no onsite hardware. Automated forecasts and weekly alerts let the engineering team and BMS contractor rework start‑up sequencing, cutting peak demand charges and other inefficiencies and delivering $45,933 in OPEX savings.
