The Town of Arlington deployed ICONICS GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA and Facility AnalytiX on Microsoft Azure to monitor the Peirce School after consolidating summer programs and installing a new chiller. The FDD system detected excessive chiller cycling, enabled immediate corrective action, and delivered 20 percent lower natural gas consumption. Extended data retention in Azure replaced prior 72-hour limits and reduced third-party HVAC diagnostic time by 15-20 percent.

Key takeaways

Facility AnalytiX FDD identified chiller short-cycling and enabled targeted repairs without waiting for utility bills.

Natural gas consumption fell approximately 20 percent in the first winter versus the prior year.

HVAC contractor diagnostic time dropped 15-20 percent due to prioritized fault lists and dashboards.

Azure integration eliminated on-premise hardware and extended data retention beyond 72 hours.

Real-time dashboards replaced monthly third-party reports for continuous commissioning visibility.
