Results of project indicate potential of automated commissioning in commercial buildings

DENVER (Jan. 29, 2019) — The Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator (IN2), a technology  incubator and platform funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation and co-administered by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), today announced the conclusion of a joint project with J2 Innovations, a leading software framework provider for building automation and IoT. The project resulted in the advancement of J2 Innovation’s technology designed to reduce the energy impact on the built environment.

Together, J2 Innovations and IN2 collaborated on prototyping a potential fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) application for the FIN Framework. J2’s FIN (Fluid INtegration) Framework is a software solution to operate, monitor, and control equipment for commercial buildings. NREL researchers provided guidance and advanced sequences that run on J2’s technology, to enable a greater number of buildings to benefit from advanced applications that create sustainable energy savings.

J2 Innovations technology allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to speed their time-to-market, system integrators to reduce labor and time required to design and commission building automation systems, and building owners and facility managers to save operating and energy costs.

Earlier this year, J2 Innovations was acquired by Siemens Building Technologies. Siemens is a great example of OEM companies that J2 Innovations has helped bring new products to market faster. FIN is used in more than 20 countries with thousands of installations globally.
