This document summarizes an HVAC energy efficiency solution called the Chiller Smart Management System (CSMS) that uses AI and algorithms to optimize chiller and boiler systems and save 20-35% on energy costs for various building types. CSMS monitors a building's thermodynamics and controls HVAC systems to save energy while maintaining temperature conditions. It analyzes factors like weather, pricing, and building conditions to dynamically set optimal temperature setpoints. CSMS has achieved annual savings of $23k for an office building, $26k for a hotel, and $36k for a hospital by controlling HVAC systems more efficiently than traditional thermostats.
