BD’s high-tech R&D manufacturing facility at Hunt Valley demands complex, always-on HVAC and utility systems serving plant operations and clean room environments. Managing thousands of data points across aging air handlers, VAV systems, and compressed air infrastructure—while driving sustainability goals—left the facilities team reactive rather than proactive, with limited visibility into the root causes of energy waste and equipment degradation.

“FacilityConneX gave us insight into every system and helped us prioritize what matters—turning data into action and keeping our facility running at peak performance.”

With FCX VOICE deployed across the 250 Schilling building, over 35 million FDD checks identified 1,500+ findings, surfacing more than 400,000 kWh in energy waste. The team resolved issues including leaking reheat valves, VAV controller faults, and compressed air system leaks—achieving 321,312 kWh in verified annualized energy savings and qualifying for $15,000 in BGE Smart Building Program incentives, with additional incentives under discussion.

FacilityConneX’s patented chilled water optimization algorithm alone delivered 132,161 kWh in annualized realized savings—with a second optimization phase underway. The platform enables clean room maintenance pre-planning, reliability-focused prioritization across 1,587 mapped data points and 1,615 deployed analytics, and continuous monitoring that helps BD meet its sustainability and energy efficiency targets while ensuring critical systems perform at the highest levels.
