Platform Enabled Services Provide a Building IoT Solution

BuildingIQ launches its BuildingIQ 5i platform-enabled services, designed to deliver value to building operators at any stage of a building’s lifecycle. The 5i platform and services provides a building IoT solution for owner/operators with its five pillar approach of data capture analysis, modeling, measurement & verification, closed loop predictive control and human analysis. The platform could fuel growth for BuildingIQ and potential partners by providing a common technological underpinning for services and solutions that address market opportunities as they arise. The company’s extensible 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 5i platform learns daily to provide a powerful 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.

BuildingIQ’s 5i platform and services use a holistic approach to meet the needs of building owners – recognizing a building system management environment, tenants, and the inherent enthalpy of large and complex building systems.

By leveraging a building’s internal data (occupancy comfort, building characteristics and meter data), external data (demand response signals, energy tariffs and weather forecasts), and 24/7 access to BuildingIQ’s team of operators, building engineers and data scientists, the 5i platform is able to deliver a blend of energy saving, operational efficiency and tenant comfort benefits. Current offerings within the 5i platform include:
