BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cimetrics Inc. and JDL Business Services announced today that the General Services Administration has contracted with JDL to provide Cimetrics’ Infometrics service, the industry’s most comprehensive facility data analysis and optimization program. Infometrics, featuring “next generation” building performance analysis technology, promises to identify opportunities for reductions in energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the Wiley Federal Building in College Park, MD. Further, monthly Infometrics reports will quantify CO2 emissions reductions and provide savings figures associated with each instance of energy savings throughout the building. With Infometrics, the GSA will receive an in-depth view of the Wiley Federal Building’s performance along with prioritized monthly maintenance recommendations. Using a continuous commissioning process, facility performance data on electrical and mechanical systems (such as HVAC, boilers, chillers, etc.), will be extracted, analyzed, and benchmarked—providing prioritized management recommendations and detailed action plans for reducing operating costs and energy consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. James R. Watson, Jr., Program Analyst at the GSA Metropolitan Services Center, calls Infometrics “an innovative approach to both energy use conservation and maintenance of building systems.” He further anticipates that the service “will yield significant energy and operational savings.” Not only will the program yield energy and operational savings, but it will also quantify CO2 emissions reductions in the facility. The GSA has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its buildings by 35% against the 1985 baseline by 2010, and has a mandate to further reduce them by 30% against the 2003 baseline by 2015 in accordance with President Bush’s January 24, 2007 Executive Order (#13423). The Infometrics service is currently being used at many institutional and commercial sites including universities, health-care facilities and pharmaceutical research laboratories.
