About the program
Smarter HVAC management for 24/7 fitness facilities
Edge Fitness operates fitness centers where maintaining temperature and humidity around the clock is essential to the customer experience.
Monaire gave the facilities leadership team real-time visibility into equipment health, runtime, maintenance, and repairs, while proactively identifying HVAC issues and helping reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
The challenge
Rising energy costs and limited equipment visibility were creating unnecessary work
The facilities leadership team lacked visibility into equipment maintenance, runtime, and repairs. Issues were often identified too late, resulting in costly emergency work and unnecessary maintenance effort.
Limited equipment visibility
The facilities team had no centralized visibility into equipment maintenance, runtime, and repairs across locations.
Late issue detection
Equipment problems were often identified too late, leading to emergency service calls and more expensive repairs.
Maintenance inefficiency
The team wanted to reduce the time spent managing false alarms, work orders, and repair validation.
24/7 comfort requirements
Fitness facilities operate around the clock, requiring continuous temperature and humidity monitoring to maintain customer comfort without unnecessary energy use.
The solution
Monitor continuously. Predict failures. Automate maintenance.
Monaire implemented a comprehensive IoT monitoring and control solution across Edge Fitness locations.
1
Install smart sensors
Smart sensors were installed on critical equipment with zero disruption to the fitness centers. Sensors began streaming real-time temperature and performance data to Monaire’s cloud platform.
2
Monitor equipment proactively
Monaire’s AI continuously analyzed sensor data to identify HVAC inefficiencies and detect potential equipment malfunctions early.
3
Predict and prevent failures
The platform identified HVAC issues before failures occurred, helping prevent costly downtime and more expensive repairs.
4
Automate work orders
Monaire integrated with ServiceChannel to streamline work order management and repair validation, giving the facilities leadership team greater visibility into equipment health and longevity.
5
