Make it Real with Data
Using metrics in a smart building is crucial for monitoring and optimizing various aspects of the building's performance. Metrics help in assessing energy efficiency, occupant comfort, security, and overall building operations. Here are key areas where metrics can be applied in a smart building: • Energy Consumption Monitoring: Measure and analyze the building's energy consumption in real-time. Use metrics to identify patterns, peak usage times, and areas of high energy consumption. • Occupancy: Track the occupancy of different spaces to optimize HVAC and lighting systems for energy efficiency while maintaining occupant comfort. • Usage Patterns: Analyze data on space usage patterns to inform decisions on space design, allocation, and configuration. • Carbon Footprint: Measure and track the building's carbon footprint to support sustainability goals. • Operational Costs: Track and analyze operational costs, including energy costs, maintenance expenses, and other operational expenditures. • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that the building meets relevant standards and regulations and use metrics to demonstrate compliance. By leveraging these metrics, building managers and operators can make informed decisions, optimize resource usage, improve occupant satisfaction, and enhance overall building performance in a smart and efficient manner.

Making it real: The University of British Columbia (UBC) implemented analytics and fault detection into their industrial controls managing heating plants, utility metering systems and more. With over 100K data points integrated from160+ buildings, conservation efforts have generated more than $10 million per year in recurring savings. SkyFoundry Case Study
