Daikin Applied introduces Intelligent Equipment solution for Trailblazer chillers

by Brianna Crandall — December 23, 2016 — Daikin Applied’s Intelligent Equipment control solution is now available as a factory-installed option on Trailblazer chillers to help building owners and facilities managers transform how they manage heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment and thereby keep occupants comfortable and productive.

Intelligent Equipment transfers and applies data from the unit through the cloud to drive value, helping building operators uniquely monitor energy consumption at the equipment level. For unit-level performance measurement, data from the cloud is converted to actionable results.  With the addition of Intelligent Equipment, facilities managers and owners can monitor the operability and efficiency of Trailblazer, manage expenses, and reduce energy costs.
