Sept. 9, 2013: Lucid Launches Online System for Energy Management
BuildingOS Aggregates Energy Data from Multiple Vendors’ Technologies
OAKLAND, Calif. — Lucid has introduced BuildingOS®, an online operating system for energy management. According to the company, the cloud-based technology enables commercial building owners and operators to quickly aggregate building information from multiple vendors into one unified source, thus eliminating vendor lock-in, consolidating building systems data for analysis, and reducing system integration costs.
BuildingOS connects with over 150 metering and building systems, including the majority of building automation systems, submeters, lighting and plug load controls, on-site generation systems, demand response providers, as well as electric and gas utilities. Advanced data acquisition tools allow users to minimize time spent collecting information and focus their efforts on identifying savings opportunities, increasing behavioral and operational efficiency, and tracking improvements across entire portfolios of buildings, said the company.
