A Case Study on a Theme Park and Resort Operator
Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) equipment performance optimization with Abound™ Advisory Services.
The Sites
A multinational theme park and resort operator sought to improve HVAC equipment uptime across three key facilities at a campus in the United States.
The Challenges
- Limited real-time visibility across HVAC equipment.
- Lack of predictive equipment health monitoring.
- Delays in diagnosing issues.
- Need to balance energy efficiency while maintaining occupant comfort across facilities.
- Prioritizing capital expenditure on equipment.
The Solution
Deployed Abound Advisory Services, which included access to Abound Predictive Insights and expert consultation from the Carrier Customer Command Centers. Key actions included:
- Recommendations to optimize control logic and system operation.
- Data-informed field actions, including sensor calibration, actuator repairs, and wiring corrections.
- Earlier identification and scheduling tech visits to address emerging issues.
- Timely resolution of sensor, controller to equipment communication, and override issues.
- Recommendations that helped improve remote resolution and first-time fixes.
The Impact
During the five-month engagement, the following results were recorded:
- 82 previously unknown issues were identified, uncovering hidden inefficiencies across equipment.
- 93%+ customer acceptance rate for identified issues, highlighting the relevance of the AI-driven predictive insights.
- 59% of recommendations progressed to various stages of implementation during the engagement.
- 28% of the issues were resolved remotely, thereby helping to reduce the cost of truck rolls, lower service costs and associated emissions.
The operator also received recommendations to support repair-versus-replace decisions, leading to better capital planning. Visibility into equipment performance helped improve reliability and uptime.
