Improving building performance is absolutely critical for the health of our economy and of the planet. Studies have found that building energy consumption can be reduced by 10% to 20% simply through improved operation. Commercial buildings represent 25% of the national energy pie, so by working smarter, several percentage points could be conserved. While much of the technology is in place, sadly it is not employed to its potential.
Rooted in the automatic temperature controls industry, M2M Systems Integrators is dedicated to the proposition that direct digital controls and building automation providers should be held to high standards of performance and service. There have been too many instances of complacency in the HVAC industry resulting in poorly performing buildings and frustrated occupants and owners. Migrating systems to open, standard protocols facilitates competitive bidding for automation equipment and services. Then building owners can choose providers based on service, price, and capability and are no longer held hostage by the original provider’s proprietary system.
Open systems are also available to new information technology. Emerging web-based tools promote close scrutiny of building energy consumption and management of mechanical assets. With qualified maintenance personnel already in short supply, information technology must converge with building operations. M2M Systems Integrators is committed to connecting buildings intelligently while making the most of existing systems. |
