Beyond GACS: The Path to Control and Smart Energy Management
Gain a systematic understanding of energy consumption, comfort, and building performance.
1. Where capacity is really lost
You'll see why scheduling keeps sliding - and why more people or tighter scheduling doesn't solve the problem. We show you where the losses are and how to make them findable.
2. How to merge maintenance and planning
You'll learn how organizations combine data on assets, maintenance and capacity into one predictable schedule - and what it takes to do so.
3. What this means in practice
Using the Fokker case, we show the difference between reacting and steering. Concrete results, concrete approach.
Many organizations view GACS and EBS as a mandatory compliance project. Reports must be generated, systems must be integrated, and documentation must be in order. But this often means that the greatest opportunity goes untapped. The same data required for compliance can also be used to identify energy waste, improve comfort, and manage buildings more intelligently.
In this webinar, Montreal Solutions and Data Science Lab will demonstrate how organizations can turn compliance into systematic energy management. Using a real-world case study from the hotel industry, you’ll discover how even a building with an excellent energy rating can still achieve significant savings through better use of data, monitoring, and AI.
After this webinar, you will know:
- Why GACS Is the Beginning of Smart Energy Management, Not the End Goal
- How to Identify Hidden Energy Losses with Real-Time Monitoring
- How AI Helps Continuously Optimize Energy Consumption, Comfort, and Building Performance
- What steps are needed to move from compliance to structural energy savings
- How Other Organizations Achieve 10–25% Energy Savings Without Compromising Comfort

FAQs
Brief explanation of the most frequently asked questions surrounding a custom planning tool.
Should we replace all our systems?
No. We work with the data and systems you already have. We add intelligence to that – not a replacement, but a layer on top of it.
What if our data is not yet in order?
This is true in most organizations. We start with an analysis of what is available and build from there. Perfect data is not a prerequisite for getting started.
How long does it take before we see results?
Insight into where capacity is being lost is already emerging within weeks. The first version of the planning tool is usually live within a few months.
Is this appropriate for our organization?
If downtime costs you money directly and planning requires a lot of manual work, chances are good that it fits. We’ll test that together in an initial meeting – no strings attached.
Do you also work outside of aviation?
Yes. Fokker Services Group is an example, but we work with organizations in transportation, infra, manufacturing and fleet management. The issues are cross-sectoral.
