BuildingIQ<\/a>, an energy management software company, announced that it has been selected by the DC Department of General Services (DGS)<\/a> to deploy its cloud-based technology within eight of the District of Columbia\u2019s public buildings, ranging from hospitals and education facilities to commercial office spaces managed by DGS.<\/p>\n BuildingIQ\u2019s Predictive Energy Optimization (PEO) platform will automatically create a custom thermal model for each building that can predict energy consumption, cost and comfort based on building characteristics, weather forecasts, energy pricing, and signals from the utility. The software will make real-time changes to each building, directly adjusting heating, ventilation, and air condition system parameters, that can reduce heating and cooling costs by as much as 25 percent. This automated, cloud-based solution requires no manual interaction, thus freeing up labor hours from building staff and engineers.<\/p>\n
