Case Study

Real District Energy Optimization Overview

Greenwave installs sub-monitoring hardware to collect minute-by-minute electricity, water and gas usage across a facility with equipment-level granularity.

This better data enables our AI-powered Greensense software to deliver unique and impactful applications.

What Greenwave Delivered

1. Real-Time Energy Monitoring

Greenwave installed high-resolution electrical submetering to track load profiles across HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, and tenant spaces. This data exposed peak demand spikes and nighttime baseload waste.

2. Asset Performance Analytics

Continuous monitoring revealed inconsistent rooftop unit cycling, allowing Greenwave to recommend optimized control strategies and preventative maintenance schedules.

3. Operational Recommendations

Greenwave delivered an action plan that included:

  • Adjusted HVAC schedules based on occupancy trends
  • Load shifting opportunities to minimize peak demand charges
  • Equipment right-sizing insights based on actual performance data
  • Lighting control improvements to reduce off-hours consumption

4. Ongoing Verification & Reporting

Monthly performance reports validated savings and ensured improvements were sustained over time. Alerts identified anomalies early, preventing operational drift.

Outcome

With access to clear, actionable data and Greenwave’s ongoing support, Prairie Commerce Centre has significantly improved its energy performance while extending the life of key building assets. The partnership demonstrates how data-driven decision-making can reduce costs, support sustainability goals, and protect long-term asset value.

“These results prove what we already know. When you stop guessing and start measuring, buildings perform the way they should. Cutting waste, preventing failures, and delivering real savings isn’t complicated. It’s disciplined. And we expect this level of performance in every property we touch.”
