Nov. 6, 2013
The cloud-based technology is designed to unlock the energy-efficiency potential of buildings by eliminating vendor lock-in.

The BuildingOS online operating system for energy management enables the quick aggregation of building information from multiple vendors into one unified source. The cloud-based technology is designed to unlock the energy efficiency potential of buildings by eliminating vendor lock-in, consolidating building systems data for analysis, and dramatically reducing system-integration costs.
BuildingOS connects with more than 150 metering and building systems, including the majority of building-automation systems, submeters, lighting and plug-load controls, onsite generation systems, demand-response providers, as well as electric and gas utilities. Advanced data-acquisition tools are designed to allow users to minimize time spent collecting information and focus their efforts on identifying savings opportunities, increasing behavioral and operational efficiency, and tracking improvements across entire portfolios of buildings.
