System Programming

Programming a Convia-enabled building is comparable to traditional products, but offers unprecedented control, with ongoing optimization opportunities to ensure your building performs well now, and in the future.

• In less than 3 years, commissioned buildings typically save 20% in building operating expenses (FEMP, 2002)


• Half of all new buildings fail to realize their full energy savings potential once they are commissioned.

A comparison of Traditional Programming Steps, and the added benefits of Convia Controls:

COMMISSIONING STEP CONVIA BENEFITS 1. Develop metering and field measurement plans 2. Develop improved operational and control schedules and set points 3. Make necessary programming changes With Convia, a facility manager can easily make changes without the need for an engineer -- a simple PC interface similar to MS Windows™ lets the manager plug right in. 4. Supervise technicians implementing mechanical systems changes Convia Enabled components by Wiremold are plug-and-play and can be uninstalled, moved or reinstalled with ease 5. Estimate potential performance changes and energy savings Convia’s Energy Track reporting tool allows for a comparison against a variety of benchmarks, from simple kilowatts to ASHRAE standards. 6. Conduct an engineering analysis of the system changes Convia lets you easily track the effects of change, in real time. 7. Write a project report Convia’s Energy Track reporting tool lets owners and managers output data reports in chart or graphical format.   Go Reconfigure! Unlike traditional products, Convia lets you reconfigure the system to adapt to any change scenario, including renovation of a space, or moving to a new address.

Convia’s flexible system of controls is designed to grow with the needs of a space, and can be instantly modified to meet a company’s lighting and electrical demands.

Intelligent controls that evolve with a space let companies deploy powerful energy savings solutions, including Timed Shutdowns and Events, Occupancy Based Lighting, Daylight Harvesting, Demand Response, Load Shedding, and Conditional Switching.

With our Energy Track Reporting tool, you’ll know immediately if your space is not performing as it was originally commissioned. With “ongoing commissioning,” Convia ensures your building will continue to perform well as time goes by.
