the existing BMS. Smart Tune service
projects are founded on data and data
analysis that augment the human
expertise driven elements of site
assessment, diagnosis, adjustment and
on-site validation of HVAC and BMS
controls in a building.
HVAC control retro-commissioning is
a natural step on the journey toward
building efficiency. Smart Tune project
make that step more meaningful by
ensuring that the commissioning work
is done correctly, and with an eye
toward a potential future that includes
fully autonomous, predictive control.
Outcome-based Fault Detection:
Industry Standard Rules. Cloud-based
Intelligence. Human Expertise
Outcome-based Fault Detection (OFD)
addresses the shortcomings common to
all fault detection and diagnostic (FDD)
services. With OFD, BuildingIQ not only
remedies these shortcomings, but it
also extends the category by building
prioritization of faults and issues,
ticketing work for prioritized faults
with full client override capabilities,
and data-based validation of the
effectiveness of work performed into
one comprehensive service.
As is an integral part of the BuildingIQ
5i journey, OFD can be even further
enhanced by adding closed-loop control
to autonomously take corrective
actions defined by predictive energy
optimization algorithms. Clients may
also transition into OFD from earlier
steps in the journey such as energy
visualization or work ticketing.
BuildingIQ’s automated demand
response service enables owner/
operators to participate, and take full
benefit from, utility-driven demand
response programs simply, easily,
repeatedly, and measurably. Demand
Response is akin to a specialized form
of Predictive Energy Optimization™
(PEO), but instead of an energy
cost driven optimization paradigm,
Demand Response achieves event goals
through a more aggressive time-based
curtailment strategy that still seeks
to optimize comfort. Unlike other
DR solutions, BuildingIQ’s Demand
Response automatically controls the
BMS down to the zone- leveraging
learning models for the building’s
thermal behavior, BMS capabilities,
and tenant comfort.
Automated Measurement & Verification:
For repeatable, utility-grade M&V of
Initiatives at a Lower Cost and Higher
Accuracy
BuildingIQ has shifted the paradigm
of Measurement & Verification (M&V)
to the cloud. Its solution automates
much of the M&V process while
providing the necessary transparency
for verification and compliance
Predictive Control –
24/7 optimized control, in-built
measurement and verification, and
demand response uniquely tailored
to your building. With the addition of
forward-looking models, buildings can
be continually, intelligently optimized to
stay onestep ahead of high costs while
keeping tenants comfortable.
Demand Response: For Automated
Managed Energy Curtailment Programs

“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.”
with the International Performance
Measurement & Verification Protocol
(IPMVP). By leveraging its real-time
data collection, data science expertise,
and powerful cloud computing,
BuildingIQ’s Automated M&V (AM&V)
is the first true software-only solution
that provides utility-grade reliability,
repeatability, and scalability.
The company’s AM&V supports both
Retrofit Isolation (Option B) and Whole
Facility (Option C). AM&V deploys once–
for any number of energy management
programs - avoiding cost and
complexity in addition to accelerating
program velocity. BuildingIQ AM&V
greatly enhances savings resolution
while dramatically lowering the
margin of error with automatic hourly
calculation capabilities.
Predictive Energy Optimization™:
For Continual, Learning, Closed-Loop
Optimized Control of any HVAC System
Predictive Energy Optimization™
(PEO) is BuildingIQ’s premier service.
PEO leverages a responsive and well-
maintained HVAC system - so is often
the service provided after Smart Tune
re-commissioning has been completed.
PEO improves the energy efficiency
of commercial, public, or academic
buildings regardless of BMS. Running
as a software-as-service (SaaS), PEO
optimizes around system efficiency,
occupancy comfort, and lowest cost.
The service utilizes the full capabilities
of the 5i platform, learning from and
adapting to the building and BMS
over time as it automatically fine-
tunes temperature and pressure set
points at the air handler or zone. PEO
automatically and continuously obtains
data on the local weather forecast, the
occupancy for the building, energy
prices, and tariffs. Based on those
inputs, it runs thousands of simulations
to arrive at the most efficient HVAC
operating strategy for the next 12 hours.
BuildingIQ’s network operations center
maintains oversight of the data for 24/7
anomaly detection, data analysis, and
diagnosis to assist on-site facility teams.
