OPTI-POINT optimizes system efficiency and reduces energy consumption by as much as 50 percent compared to traditional system designs. It also safeguards system optimization by addressing mechanical drift and performance degradation. Employing predictive diagnostics and condition-based maintenance, OPTI-POINT minimizes plant operating costs.

Peter Thomsen, Director, Building Systems Solutions with Armstrong comments, "OPTI-POINT creates a new understanding of how we can reduce construction costs and find remarkable operating savings. With OPTI-POINT, developers and contractors can save over $3 per sqft on the construction costs for commercial buildings and Building Owners can reduce annual ownership costs by 45 cents per sqft.”
