Software makes Smaller Buildings Smarter
AUSTIN, TX – Incenergy, a Smart Building pioneer that develops an
advanced energy management system targeting many of the low-rise
buildings in the four million plus light commercial market,
successfully scaled its Smart Building EMS solution to a 17-floor
office tower in Dallas.
“It
was critical to show that a feature-rich solution with an intuitive
customer interface could scale at an affordable price,” said Incenergy
CEO Barry McConachie, “and in this case is giving a one year payback.”
The company’s flagship product, Building Portfolio EMS, is an
affordable HVAC retrofit solution that upgrades and manages HVAC
systems and is particularly suited for low-rise commercial buildings
that until now could not afford automated control capabilities.
Incenergy’s
platform architecture brings wireless mesh technology to EMS by
leveraging cloud computing with Smart Thermostats to deliver access to
over 60 attributes in a clean web interface that also supports mobile
devices running iPhone and Android.
Available
through subscription services, the Zigbee-based “smart building”
software offers building operators an affordable HVAC retrofit solution
with complete command and control.
According
to Senior Vice President Bill Moebius of Stream Realty Partners, who
manages the Dallas building, “Incenergy’s intuitive and simple
scheduling and temperature override functions mean that now our
facility managers can log into the portal no matter where they are and
have immediate visibility into the entire building, without having to
go floor-to-floor to assess and address issues.”
[an error occurred while processing this directive]During the first four months alone, the 164,000-square-foot building saw its energy usage fall by 262,736 kWh over the previous year, resulting in reduced electricity expense of $5,800 per month. These reductions were chiefly attributable to the automation and schedule optimization of temperature set-points, temperature override limits and fault detection alerts.
Along
with a 20 percent efficiency gain, Incenergy’s EMS will enable the
building to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,227,705 lbs CO2 in the
first year and each succeeding year during the life of the EMS system.

full discussion and data.
Incenergy EMS remote management helps companies shave hours of labor
and travel time, increasing operational efficiency above and beyond the
savings realized by lowered energy costs. Its fault detection
capability can help extend the life of HVAC equipment and lower capital
expense.
