by Shane Henson — November 30, 2012—BuildingIQ, an energy management software company working to redefine the way energy is managed in commercial buildings, is partnering with Johnson Controls to bring its applications onto the new Panoptix platform.
Johnson Controls’ Panoptix solution is a combination of software and services designed to help single building owners or managers of global enterprises improve the performance of their buildings, decrease energy use and operational costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is driven by cloud-based apps that provide visibility into how every system, subsystem and device is functioning, and provides information to take actions to improve their performance, says BuildingIQ.
Through using Panoptix, Johnson Controls customers will be able to access BuildingIQ’s flagship product, also called BuildingIQ, to automatically reduce energy consumption and costs while improving the operational efficiency of their respective buildings.
BuildingIQ offers a unique, next-generation service to automatically fine tune the building management system (BMS) based on weather forecasts, occupancy patterns and energy prices in order to optimize heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning energy, the company says. The Panoptix platform will provide cloud-based access to energy data and manage the interface to the BMS to streamline the implementation of BuildingIQ for customers across their portfolios. Customers will be able to purchase a monthly subscription to BuildingIQ through Panoptix as well.
