BuildingIQ Launches 5i Platform for Energy Intelligence
Includes data capture analysis, advanced modeling, measurement and verification, and more
SAN FRANCISCO — BuildingIQ announced the launch of its 5i platform-enabled services, designed to deliver value to building operators at any stage of a building’s lifecycle. The company said the 5i platform and services provide a better building Internet of Things (IoT) solution for owner/operators due to its five pillar approach of data capture analysis, advanced modeling, measurement and verification, closed loop predictive control, and expert human analysis. The company said its services can be deployed selectively to meet the needs of any building, are subscription-based, and require little to no infrastructure changes to implement.
“The infrastructure and needs of buildings within a portfolio of properties can vary drastically from assets that are retired in place to state-of-the-art BMS [building management system] implementations,” said Michael Nark, president and CEO of BuildingIQ. “With the unveiling of the BuildingIQ 5i platform, we are offering building owners and managers an ability to balance the sometimes opposed needs of energy optimization, operational efficiency, and tenant comfort — all on one platform. Services built on the platform work together synergistically, so owner/operators need not worry about BMS changes or market evolution. The 5i platform approach evolves with their needs.” The 5i platform learns daily to provide an energy intelligence foundation for a building. As buildings evolve, so does the platform — accommodating new BMS, new feedback methodologies and sensors, and alternative generation such as solar and local storage.
