Real-Time Energy Management (RTEM) Services
Senseware provides alternative retrofit options for buildings with an outdated Building Automation System (BAS), no existing BAS, or a closed system. Gain visibility to utility systems (electricity, water, gas) that aren’t directly connected to the BAS and see all your data in real-time via the Senseware Dashboard or via API. Senseware acts as a lightweight BAS that ingests real-time utility data from a building, supplements that data with additional retrofit IoT sensors, implements a cloud-based intelligence layer on top of the on-site infrastructure, and can feed back control instructions from the cloud to on-site equipment to optimize building operations. Senseware’s IoT platform provides the foundation for a real-time virtual BAS.
Antiquated BAS
Any BAS that fails to provide needed sensor data is functionally obsolete. Senseware’s wide array of sensors and bridges support adding new real-time monitoring on-site without ordering costly BAS equipment. The wireless retrofits can be installed within hours, greatly simplifying project management and costs.
Senseware’s IoT platform, with a catalog of pre-built bridges that support any third-party sensor/meter/device, ensures that your on-site monitoring and control infrastructure never becomes obsolete. The intuitive web interface allows an easy path to view equipment status and environmental conditions, trend important monitoring points, and get instant notifications.
No BAS
Older buildings are faced with aging infrastructure and increased demands on performance. Smaller buildings or temporary structures (e.g., trailers) have poor economics that cannot justify installation of a traditional BAS.
Senseware provides inexpensive wireless retrofits that can capture real-time sensor data, deliver anytime, anywhere access to on-site conditions using real-time cloud dashboards, and control on-site lighting and HVAC using a lightweight BAS in the cloud. In one example, individual thermostat setpoints can be controlled from the cloud using customized schedules or intelligent sensor-based controls.
