Frequently Asked Questions

How is BuildingLens different from building automaton systems (BAS)?

BuildingLens differs from other BAS in that it is a service that optimizes BAS software and hardware. It connects to any BAS, no mater the brand or age. Unlike most BAS, simplified data access can be tailored to various stakeholders, from tenants to executives. BuildingLens’ care for energy efficiency, compliance, community engagement, and clean energy accessibility makes it a user-friendly platform that enhances and maximizes the potential of any BAS.

How exactly will this service save me money?

We save you money in a few ways:

  • Energy efficiency will reduce utility bills.
  • Reduced tenant turnover because tenants will enjoy greater health and productivity benefits.
  • Preventative maintenance will alert property managers to issues before they become costly repairs or replacements.
  • Avoided penalties and streamlined compliance reports to ensure buildings comply with changing building codes and regulations.

What specifically do you do to prioritize occupant well-being?

We work hard to keep everyone in the building comfortable and safe. Our system uses predictive modeling and real time data to control things like indoor air quality, humidity, and temperature to ensure comfortable spaces no matter how outdoor conditions may change.

We also have tools that let us send important updates to building occupants during events that might impact their health, like wildfire smoke. Finally, we always listen to feedback to make sure we’re meeting people’s needs.

I already have a Building Automation System, do I still need BuildingLens?

Yes, BuildingLens is a service that integrates with any Building Automation Systems (BAS). No need to program your BAS, because we will remotely manage it and many other systems in your building for optimal performance and comfort.

Tell me more about how the remote oversight features work and how it can benefit building managers?

Senors and controls are installed in strategic locations throughout your building. In everyday operations, BuildingLens software automates a variety of tasks and will alert us when there’s a problem.

We adjust from there or alert the property manager to an action that they must take. An energy expert is always monitoring the automated system, so property mangers have the benefit of both automated systems and an expert to ensure smooth operations.

What are the specific energy benefits?

The energy benefits of BuildingLens include:

  • Lower utility bills
  • Peak Demand Reduction
  • Longer Equipment Lifespan
  • Eligibility for Incentives
  • Increased Property Value
  • Improved tenant satisfaction
  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • Future-proofing

What kind of training do I need to use your service?

None. Our team replaces the need for a dedicated energy manager at your site.
