KRP Properties
KRP Properties owns and operates over 30 buildings totaling approximately 3.1 million square feet in Kanata North — Canada’s Largest Technology Park. The company is dedicated to enhancing the tenant experience and long-term value of its physical assets through technology. Since partnering with FacilityConneX in 2016, KRP has leveraged real-time analytics and monitoring-based commissioning to become a leader in smart building operations for the tech park.
Challenge
Managing properties with thousands of pieces of equipment can be daunting. Demands from tenants and other stakeholders for comfort and efficiency are always on the minds of operations. Addition challenges include:
- Reactive Maintenance: Facility engineers lacked the real-time visibility to anticipate equipment issues, leaving teams in a reactive rather than proactive maintenance posture.
- Energy Optimization at Scale: Managing HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems across 30+ buildings in Canada’s largest tech park required consistent, actionable energy data that legacy tools could not provide.
- Tenant Experience: As home to leading technology companies, KRP needed to ensure consistently comfortable, high-performance environments to meet the expectations of its demanding tenant base.
- Portfolio Scalability: After an initial successful deployment, KRP needed a solution that could expand efficiently across additional buildings without significant additional overhead.
Solution
FacilityConneX deployed its real-time analytics and monitoring-based commissioning platform at KRP Properties, starting with 411 Legget Drive before expanding to 303 Terry Fox Drive and 2500 Solandt — bringing total monitored space to approximately 500,000 sq ft.
Key aspects of the solution included:
- Real-time monitoring of HVAC, lighting systems, and overall electrical energy consumption.
- 35,000+ automated equipment checks performed daily.
- Fault detection and diagnostics to identify preventative maintenance opportunities and equipment optimization.
- Scalable platform designed to expand across additional KRP buildings with minimal additional burden.
How FacilityConneX Helped
FacilityConneX transformed KRP’s approach to building operations — shifting facility engineers from reactive maintenance to a proactive, data-driven model that delivers measurable results for both the business and its tenants.
- Proactive Maintenance: Real-time equipment insight enabled facility engineers to get ahead of issues, reducing time to resolution and preventing costly unplanned downtime.
- Identified Energy Savings: Continuous analytics surfaced energy savings points across HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems, producing tens of thousands of dollars in identified savings.
- Equipment Optimization: Preventative maintenance programs and optimized equipment performance extended asset life and improved system reliability across the portfolio.
- Improved Tenant Comfort: Better-performing building systems created a more comfortable, consistent environment for the technology tenants KRP serves.
- Portfolio Expansion: Following the success at 411 Legget, KRP expanded the program to two additional buildings, bringing FacilityConneX coverage to over 15 percent of the entire portfolio.
