ith property managers
increasingly being asked
to do more with less, new
technologies are lightening the
workload by helping to streamline
operations, increase efficiency, and
boost tenant satisfaction. Over the past
few years, the industry has benefitted
greatly from the rapid advancements
in smartphone technology, monitoring
systems, and data analytics, in
particular. New products are making
basic property management tasks,
from procurement to tenant relations,
faster, easier and more efficient.
In light of the foregoing, we’re thrilled
to present BuildingIQ.
BuildingIQ engages in the design,
development, engineering, sale, and
installation of integrated software
projects in the United States, Canada,
and Australia. Its software solutions
are used for the reduction of energy,
operations, and maintenance costs
of various building systems, such
as heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning systems.
The company was incorporated in
2012 and is headquartered in San
Mateo, California.
BuildingIQ: Synopsis
5i Intelligent Energy Platform–
The platform offers greater operational
efficiency and improved occupant
comfort.
The BuildingIQ 5i Platform of
technology-enabled services learns
and evolves with the needs of your
building or portfolio of buildings.
Deployment occurs once, when you
engage with BuildingIQ, giving you —
building owners and operators— the
ability to select the services that best
solve today’s problems, and then easily
add new ones to tackle tomorrow’s
demands.
The company’s services can be
deployed selectively to meet the needs
of any building across any size portfolio
or geography. Services that power
BuildingIQsolutions range from ticket
management to retro-commissioning,
to closed-loop control to tune your
building to optimal performance 24/7.
Visualization–
Energy metering is the first step in
understanding how you use energy.
BuildingIQ provides cloud-based
deep metering to enable energy
management solutions.
Energy Worksite: Baselining,
Measuring, and Managing Facilities-
Led Energy Initiatives
Energy Worksite is a SaaS analytics tool
powered by an advanced algorithm
that monitors the energy consumption
of a building on an hourly basis. The
service uses whole building energy
interval data and/or sub-meter data to
detect and provide alerts for anomalies
in energy consumption, as well as
supporting savings impacts. Energy
Worksite models energy use to predict
and alert building operations staff of
variances between actual measured
consumption and the expected energy
calculation. Energy Worksite delivers
clear and straightforward reporting, on
demand or on a customized schedule,
and user-customized dashboards. With
Energy Worksite, a building manager/
operator get a quick overview of the
energy consumption of their buildings,
instant outlier identification, and
rapid knowledge about over-
consuming, under-consuming, or on
target buildings and metered systems.
Building Operations –
BuildingIQ’s take on the Building
Internet of Things brings an array
of products and services to help you
manage, tune, and operate buildings
through big data, re-commissioning,
and monitored commissioning.
Facility Worksite: Fast Work Order
Ticketing and Intuitive Task Scheduling
Busy facilities management personnel
are constantly juggling lots of tasks and
priorities to keep their sites running
well and occupants happy. At times,
it’s chaotic, a constant balancing act
between the predictable —preventive
maintenance, scheduled events— and
the unpredictable —occupant service
requests, ad hoc events. BuildingIQ’s
answer to these needs is Facility
Worksite: a service request and work
order management system (aka,
ticketing system) that is quick and easy
to use and is very cost effective.
Facility Worksite makes it easier
to manage the predictable and
unpredictable demands that facilities
teams face daily and helps them get
things done quickly and efficiently.
It’s quick to deploy and securely
accessible from any web browser. It
can be deployed standalone or as an
integral part of the broader BuildingIQ
5i platform, which helps manage
and optimize HVAC operations and
occupant comfort.
Smart Tune: Data Analytics-Driven
HVAC Re-Commissioning for Smarter,
Better System Tune Ups
BuildingIQ’s data-driven retro-
commissioning services ensure the
optimal configuration of the HVAC
control system. Smart Tune projects
range from system overhauls to
specific, tactical improvements to
