San Jose, CA. (June 23, 2009) - Sensus Machine Intelligence (Sensus MI) and Target Corporation won the annual Buildy Award for Best Building Connectivity Implementation at ConnectivityWeek 2009. The award is presented to the integrator, building owner or consultant with the most progressive building, supporting the vision of whole building integration and intelligent buildings.

Sensus MI has been working with Target Corporation, one of the largest retailers in the United States with approximately 1,700 stores in 49 states. In an effort to maximize operational efficiency, Target monitors and controls its entire store network from their Minneapolis-based Facilities Management Operation Center (FMOC). The FMOC manages facility fault detection, diagnostic, and impact (FDDI) results with interactive tools from Sensus MI. Sensus MI is collecting, normalizing, storing, and continuously analyzing more than 290 million HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, and energy meter points from multiple systems at one-minute intervals in a centralized cloud based platform.

"The Target team earned this distinguished Buildy award due to their efforts in adopting a best-in-class solution for remotely aggregating thousands of devices from different sources to automatically analyze equipment performance allowing Target team members to proactively resolve problems quickly" said Brian Thompson, CEO of Sensus MI. "This award reflects the industry leading benefits being achieved, allowing Target to spend more time solving problems before they have a negative impact on both comfort and financial operations."

"The user friendly Sensus MI FDDI analytic toolset helps Target better achieve our operational and financial goals through efficiency gains that focus our efforts towards investigating and solving problems that were not known or able to be addressed in the past" says John Kimmes, EMS Asset Lead, FMOC. "This solution is resulting in tangible energy, maintenance, and sustainability benefits, and improving our ability to effectively ensure a comfortable shopping environment."

ConnectivityWeek 2009, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California June 8-11, 2009, was the largest annual gathering of industry experts on IT and the energy markets in North America. More than 950 industry experts gathered for in-depth sessions exploring how IT can be leveraged to make the new energy paradigm a reality using enabling technologies and applications in the smart grid, electric vehicles, intelligent buildings, energy aware homes, sustainable factories, and connected cities. Buildy awards were determined from attendee voting.
