In 2022, a portfolio of eight prominent commercial buildings in New York transitioned to the PepcoCorp Building Management System (BMS) to address rising heating costs and inefficient fuel usage. By 2024, the portfolio achieved a total annual saving of $413,795 and reduced oil consumption by over 140,000 gallons.
Older oil-burning commercial buildings often suffer from “short-cycling” and over-heating, leading to massive fuel waste and unnecessary wear on equipment. Property managers needed a solution that could modernize these legacy systems without a full boiler replacement, providing immediate ROI and measurable efficiency gains.
The PEPCO BMS was installed across the portfolio to provide intelligent, real-time control over heating cycles. By monitoring outdoor temperatures and indoor demand more precisely than traditional controls, the BMS ensures that boilers fire only when necessary, maximizing every gallon of fuel.
The data across the 2022–2024 period shows a dramatic improvement in efficiency across every property in the portfolio:
- Total Monetary Savings: $413,795.81
- Total Fuel Saved: $140,269.75 Gallons
- Portfolio Average Efficiency Gain: $41.9% reduction in fuel usage.
