Built for the buildings that actually pay demand charges.
Celaxis targets the building types where HVAC overcycling and peak demand charges are the highest leverage energy cost reduction opportunity.
Multi-zone HVAC, predictable occupancy patterns, high peak demand exposure.
Office buildings are Celaxis's primary target. The patterns are consistent: Monday morning warm-up after weekend setback creates a peak demand spike in the worst possible tariff window. Friday afternoon early-empty creates a pre-cooling opportunity the BMS schedule always misses. Multi-tenant occupancy variability means zone-by-zone optimization is significantly more effective than building-wide setpoint adjustment.
Primary savings mechanism: peak demand avoidance via 2–4 hour pre-cooling ahead of tariff peak windows. Secondary: occupancy-responsive setback in low-utilization zones during partial-occupancy periods.
High lighting load, variable occupancy, refrigeration adjacency accounted for.
Retail centers have a different energy profile than offices: higher lighting load relative to HVAC, occupancy peaks concentrated on weekends and holiday periods rather than predictable weekday patterns. Refrigerated aisle adjacency creates thermal zones that behave differently — Celaxis's model accounts for refrigeration heat rejection when calculating HVAC thermal inertia in adjacent zones.
Celaxis focuses HVAC optimization on non-refrigeration zones and lighting dimming in low-traffic hours. The typical range reflects slightly lower HVAC savings potential relative to pure-office buildings, offset by meaningful lighting load reduction.
Administrative wings and medical office buildings — not clinical spaces.
Celaxis is appropriate for administrative wings, medical office buildings, and outpatient clinics. It is NOT appropriate for clinical spaces with temperature-regulated requirements — operating rooms, pharmacies, sterile processing, labs, or any space where temperature control is a regulatory or patient-safety requirement. If you manage administrative floor plans within a larger healthcare campus, those zones may be in scope. Contact us to discuss.
Within appropriate scope, healthcare administrative buildings typically suffer from fixed HVAC schedules that ignore holiday periods and the early-checkout patterns common in medical office settings. A clinic that closes at 3pm on Fridays is still heating/cooling at full schedule until 5pm — a straightforward optimization Celaxis handles automatically.
