HVAC operating intelligence for Austin teams.
A calibrated planning starting point for Austin commercial teams managing annual ECAD benchmarking, HVAC efficiency, commissioning, and replacement decisions.
Austin’s ECAD ordinance applies annual benchmarking requirements to covered commercial buildings served by Austin Energy. HVAC evidence should connect the building rating, equipment inventory, controls, commissioning, and field-service plan before a retrofit decision.
Scope an assessment- Reconcile Austin Energy reporting with equipment identity, controls, and maintenance history.
- Separate annual benchmarking from a full engineering audit or performance guarantee.
- Track commissioning and total-system-efficiency questions for applicable equipment and projects.
- Plan for heat, peak demand, electrical capacity, and technician coverage together.
