Apps to optimize plant energy
Alto CERO Water-Side runs a suite of automation agents across the plant — chiller sequencing and add/subtract staging, dynamic chilled-water setpoint reset with pre-cooling, secondary-pump staging with anti-cycling, and cooling-tower optimization. On the edge, a machine-learning service forecasts cooling load and condenser-water conditions and feeds a Model Predictive Control loop, so the plant is optimized against what's about to happen, not just what already did.
Chiller Optimization
AI-driven chiller plant optimization app that continuously learns from real-time + historical data to cut kWh, reduce peak demand, and stabilize chilled-water performance
Load Forecast
Predict your building's energy demand 24 hours ahead, hour by hour, enabling smarter equipment scheduling and proactive energy management.
An interactive plant map gives operators live status on every chiller, pump and cooling tower, with per-chiller detail cards. Fault detection, automated reporting and IPMVP-based savings verification make plant performance transparent and defensible.
Auto Report (Water-side)
Turn complex chiller plant data into audit-ready insights – automatically.
Automatic Fault Detection & Diagnosis (AFDD)
Continuously monitors your building systems to catch issues early—so you reduce downtime, avoid expensive failures, and keep equipment running efficiently
IPMVP Data Analytics
Verify real energy savings with IPMVP-compliant baseline analytics – automatically eliminating weeks of manual spreadsheet analysis.
Compare Every Chiller Plant Across Your Portfolio
Benchmark plant efficiency, identify underperforming sites and quantify avoidable energy costs, giving central engineering teams a clear view of where action will create the greatest impact.
Explore how building owners and facility teams use Alto CERO to improve plant efficiency, automate operations and support sustainability targets.
Common questions about AI chiller plant optimization with Alto CERO.
What is AI chiller plant optimization?
Software that continuously sequences and tunes chillers, pumps, cooling towers and chilled-water setpoints using real-time data and predicted cooling load, rather than manual or rule-based control.
How much energy can a chiller plant save with Alto CERO?
Up to 30% plant energy and up to 30% carbon-footprint reduction, with a payback period under 3 years.
How does it predict cooling demand?
An edge machine-learning service forecasts cooling load and condenser-water conditions and feeds a Model Predictive Control loop, so the plant optimizes for what’s about to happen, not just what already did.
Are the energy savings auditable?
Yes — savings are verified with IPMVP-compliant baseline analytics and audit-ready automated reporting.
Can it manage multiple chiller plants across sites?
Yes — plant performance rolls up across the portfolio for benchmarking and identifying underperforming sites.
