SAN FRANCISCO—BuildingIQ, an energy management software company with a mission to redefine the way energy is managed in commercial buildings, announced it has partnered with Johnson Controls to bring its applications onto the new Panoptix platform. Using Panoptix, Johnson Controls customers will be able to access BuildingIQ to automatically reduce energy consumption and costs while improving the operational efficiency of a building.
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 HVAC energy. 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.
BuildingIQ will be the first application on Panoptix to enable real-time control of the BMS in order to directly reduce energy use and peak loads.
