Kaizen ASO (Automated System Optimization) is a powerful, automated two-way interface optimization tool that elevates how CopperTree’s Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD)/Energy Management Information System (EMIS) interacts with Building Automation System. With ASO, you can fix a variety of issues from simple fault correction to advanced sequence optimization with no ongoing human intervention.
Because Smart Building technology requires it. Building data collection and analytics in traditional EMIS platforms provides the foundation to become data-driven. Once engaged in data-driven decision support systems, increased automation – from assisted to autonomous supervisory controls is necessary. Furthermore, ASO is an enabler of setpoint optimization and demand-side management strategies. The manual task of reviewing fault-detection and diagnostics insights, assessing system optimization reports, and acting upon them is a tedious process.
CopperTree Analytics’ ASO functionality is built within Kaizen’s software suite. Enabling ASO is essentially a 3-step process:
- Implement Kaizen FDD data collection and analytics.
- Deploy the hardware appliance that enables 2-way communication. The current firmware version supports communication with native BACnet devices only.
- Configure target systems and implement ASO – track results and savings through Kaizen platform.
An important requirement needed before step 3 is a thorough evaluation of the target system’s sequence.
• 15 to 30% continuous energy savings
• Impactful ghg reductions
• Automated Measurement & Verification (M&V)
• Autonomous Building Optimization
- Bi-directional functionality that enables Kaizen to complement the BAS with supervisory optimization is achieved via a separate hardware appliance.
- Built-in safety features include allow-list, priority array, and time expiration command management.
- Action log in Kaizen lists all ASO commands time-stamped with status results.
- Existing features in Kaizen, including the logic builder and performance analyzer, are fully available for ASO implementation.
