We install our gateway, a small yet powerful edge computer, in the building’s server room and connect to the controls network. The gateway identifies all connected devices using standard building OT network protocols like BACnet and Modbus. We then map and classify devices using a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and manual categorization into a standardized data model and trend data at 1 min to 15 min intervals.
Torrens™, our energy management information system, aggregates the building data from the gateway with other sources, including utility bills, electric meters, weather forecast data, and building occupancy schedules. It provides comprehensive views of the building equipment and systems and identifies energy conservation measures and flexible load measures.
Common energy optimization measures include equipment scheduling, addressing defective sensors, and fixing malfunctioning control dampers. Once optimized, Edo prepares buildings for demand flexibility using predictive load control framework. This framework optimizes HVAC controls through forecasting, optimization, and control adjustments. Edo uses machine learning to forecast HVAC zone behavior based on weather, occupancy, and controls. Predictive load control then iteratively prioritizes HVAC controls for energy and demand savings, as well as comfort.
The Time Is Now
The need for cleaner and more efficient commercial buildings has never been more urgent.
Building Performance Standards
Commercial buildings contribute nearly 40% of energy-related emissions. Policymakers worldwide are implementing ways to accelerate electrification and place caps on energy use and GHG emissions in the built environment.
Engaged Owners & Occupants
460 companies across 41 countries have pledged net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Once an act of global leadership, are now table stakes for any responsible business.
Electric Grid Decarbonization
Over 180 cities and 20 utilities across North America have goals to power their communities with 100% carbon-free electricity. A rapidly growing trend.
Our Process at Work
Edo is the “energy information system” integrating the building energy management system, smart thermostats, smart meters, and utility power.
