THE COOLING FOUNDATION

Give cooling data an operational meaning.

A temperature reading becomes useful when you know which equipment it belongs to, what the plant is trying to deliver and whether the reading can be trusted. We are building the foundation that connects those pieces.

Start with a shared picture of the plant.

The intended foundation brings equipment, connections, sensor readings and operating limits into one maintained plant model. It is designed to help engineers understand what is connected, what has changed and which assumptions still need checking.

Connect

Map available BMS points, equipment records, drawings and operating sequences to their physical context.

Check

Identify missing measurements, inconsistent units, stale readings and uncertain equipment relationships.

Keep the history

Record changes to the model and its supporting evidence so a recommendation can be traced to its inputs.

TARA turns questions into a reviewable workflow.

TARA is the proposed operator-facing workflow for the Cooling Foundation. The aim is to make plant context, observations and proposed actions understandable to the people responsible for daily operation.

Understand the question

Bring the operating objective, current conditions and relevant constraints into view.

Review the proposal

Show the evidence, assumptions and uncertainties behind an observation or recommendation.

Record the outcome

Capture what was approved, what happened and what needs further investigation.

Evidence before any operating change.

The development path starts with reading plant information. A move to recommendations or supervised operation requires a separate review of data quality, equipment behaviour, permissions and commissioning evidence. AI may propose an action; explicit policy and authorised operators govern whether it can proceed. Existing plant controls and protective functions remain authoritative.

Build once. Qualify every new plant.

Our long-term goal is to make useful cooling applications easier to carry between different plants. That does not remove the need to check each site’s equipment, measurements and operating constraints. Cooling Foundation is in development and validation. This site does not present verified Cooling Foundation savings or proven cross-site portability. Learning across sites would depend on explicit data rights and agreed use.
