Technology Description

This is a technology that a building owner or facility operator can use to manage their energy and natural resource consumption and monitor and control their carbon footprint.

The name of the technology is "Enterprise Energy Management Using Wireless Sensor Networking Technologies".

The technology is a system comprised of a number of devices and software. The devices include sensors, actuators and controllers. The controllers are programmable. They can be programmed to perform a series of actions based upon inputs from the sensors, to log data or to perform a notification or alarming function. The system is designed for turn-key installations, but can be sold on a component level.

The technology primarily allows a building owner or operator to monitor and manage the facilities energy consumption. A key differentiator in this technology is the inclusion of wireless communications capability in the system, thereby allowing easy, low cost installation and flexibility in reconfiguration. The technology is designed as a low-cost device solution, perhaps opening up a market segment that would not consider such a building energy management solution previously due to cost.

The technology roadmap includes application in other natural resource control, including water and natural gas, as well as building security and manufacturing line applications.

Target market segments for the technology include: Intelligent Enterprise Management, primarily in small and medium enterprises, Smart Energy Management, Physical Security Management, Industrial Automation and Healthcare.
