BuildSense is software as a service (SaaS) that empowers building operators to deeply understand their assets and fully optimize building performance. BuildSense delivers this power through Internet connected sensors that track building system data to analyze and quantify total energy use. In real-time, BuildSense provides strategies to reduce energy consumption using either behavioural or physical/structural building changes.
With BuildAware, we analyze large numbers of buildings by collecting 5 key pieces of information including their historical energy use for 12 to 24 months. From this data collection process we are able to identify how each building is performing compared to their respective benchmark of energy intensity and identify approximately how they use their energy as it applies to secondary energy end use.
After your buildings have been benchmarked, our Energy Integration Specialists conduct an on-site building and equipment audit that mimics a Level II ASHRAE Audit. This in-depth analysis covers building environment, mechanical systems and electrical systems in an effort to reverse engineer how and where they are using their energy, accurately, and output detailed savings opportunities.
The final step before your BuildSense Real-Time Building Monitoring comes online is to install Internet of Things connected sensors throughout your building to collect hundreds of data points in real time. This collected building data is visualized and displayed in an intuitive online dashboard that provides building operators an accurate on-going analysis of how their buildings are using energy. Last but not least, in addition to providing real time Energy Savings Measures, you can now accurately measure and verify ongoing energy saving measures applied to specific buildings, whether they be behavioural or physical augmentations. With BuildSense, your buildings can be optimized continuously, lowering operating costs and increasing building asset value.
