Predictive Energy Optimization

The BuildingIQ system is the only energy management system that predicts energy demand and directly adjusts heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system parameters to continuously optimize energy use. BuildingIQ communicates with your building management system (BMS) and automatically reduces energy consumption while maintaining or improving tenant comfort. At the core of our system is a sophisticated thermal model that automatically learns your building's energy performance and then adapts to changes in internal or external conditions. BuildingIQ is the only system available today that factors in weather forecasts, occupant comfort, peak demand factors, and demand response signals to minimize energy cost and consumption for building owners.

Add Intelligence to Your Building Management System

The BuildingIQ system can be used in both new and existing buildings and requires no infrastructure upgrades or capital expenditures. The product is delivered as a software solution and connects to most building management systems using industry-standard interfaces. Because we offer the system on a subscription basis, you essentially pay for it out of the resulting energy savings.

Reduce Energy Spend Without Sacrificing Comfort

Because heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) represent the biggest single use of energy in most commercial and institutional buildings, optimizing HVAC operation results in significant cost savings and reduced CO2 emissions. BuildingIQ‘s optimization algorithms continuously monitor occupant comfort based on an ASHRAE Standard 55 comfort model. In initial installations, BuidingIQ consistently reduced energy costs and emissions by 10-30% while maintaining occupant comfort levels—even in buildings that were already rated as highly energy efficient.

BuildingIQ

Our flagship product, BuildingIQ, optimizes energy consumption by pre-planning HVAC operations, managing set points to deliver the optimized plan, and continuously updating the settings throughout the day for any changes to internal or external conditions. This enables customers to:

Significantly reduce energy spend and consumption
Ensure occupant comfort
Increase their building’s Energy Star, LEED or NABERS ratings
Improve their property’s valuation by increasing net operating income
Free up engineering resources through automated, real-time monitoring of HVAC operations

ComfortIQ

ComfortIQ is available as an add-on module to the BuildingIQ product. ComfortIQ is an occupant survey application that provides feedback on actual tenant comfort and captures real-time satisfaction data. This information can then be used to enhance the comfort model included in the basic product. ComfortIQ makes it possible to:

fine-tune HVAC controls to zone-by-zone differences in perceived comfort levels
capture additional feedback from occupants about their current indoor environment, including highlighting potential faults
notify building occupants of the current status of a building’s HVAC systems
enable tenant comfort reports to be created for building operators

Building operators can customize comfort surveys to be issued on demand to any number of occupants. ComfortIQ can also be configured so that occupants can provide feedback on comfort levels if they feel uncomfortable at any time, instead of telephoning or emailing comfort complaints to building staff.

DRIQ

DRIQ is an add-on module that automates and optimizes the building’s response to DR events. DR signals are incorporated into the BuildingIQ optimization parameters and tailored to the building’s thermal model, the forecast weather conditions, and the applicable DR structure and tariffs. This Optimized Demand Responseâ„¢ capability allows building owners and operators to:

take advantage of demand response incentives while minimizing the impact on tenant comfort
reduce exposure to and impact of peak day pricing penalties
automatically tailor the energy optimization plan to comply with the DR event
confirm the precise capacity of load shedding available based on the building’s thermal capacity and the anticipated conditions for the day
dynamically adapt the energy plan and load shedding throughout the day based on changing conditions inside and outside the building
estimate and have real-time visibility into actual load shedding vs. target
project and assess real-time impact of response on tenant comfort
