Verdigris Technologies

Hospital sustainability policies and demand for environmentallyconscious healthcare supplies drove Vention to Verdigris. Vention was seeking energy data metrics, particularly validation of energy usage and insights for potential savings. With 13 facilities and a newly formed sustainability council, Vention needed a tool to easily identify and quantify hidden potential cost savings. They also needed a reliable system to track equipment malfunction to maintain sensitive environments which are critical to medical device manufacturing. Vention selected their Sunnyvale office, which has several clean rooms, for the proof-of-concept test. They wanted to learn how to best prevent downtime for important equipment such as HVAC, which could jeopardize FDA-approved clean room conditions, contaminate materials, and ultimately increase production costs. Vention approached Verdigris to get help going above and beyond their customers’ specific requirements for sustainability.

Buildings today run longer hours, support wider end uses, and support greater levels of economic productivity, creating a thinner margin for error. But even state-of-the-art building and environmental control systems have failed to enable facilities and operations management. Our buildings are inefficient and the people using them are underserved.To meet occupant comfort and maintain cost and energy efficiency, a dynamic AI-assisted approach is needed.
