Continuing our series of articles on Innovation we recently talked to Mike Zimmerman, Founder of BuildingIQ, about the approaching 3rd Step change in Building Energy Management (BEMS) technology. The 1st step change in BEMS technology was of course the move to DDC controls. Since then we have seen a 2nd wave of innovation in analytics; where companies have started to extract useful data using open protocols and analyze it to help report on performance or identify operating issues. But the limitation of this approach is that it only provides a static “point in time” view of the building. It isn’t continuous or predictive. Additionally, any issues identified still require human intervention to address. The 3rd wave of innovation will take this analysis concept even further to "optimization". It will be about real-time adaptive control of operations. Basically creating a learning system using predictive analysis algorithms, machine learning and Big Data. The system will combine an […]
