Smart property management is key to running an energy efficient building.

All right. So, here’s the control room. All right. Brian, we’re going to need you to show us around a little bit. Get us familiar with the system so we can point our inquiry into the right area.

So, pulled up on the Home screen here, which is just showing what’s on by the green dots and anything that’s red is off

It’s all automated. So, we don’t have to do anything to do it.

But, it works pretty, pretty flawlessly.

Here’s the chiller plant. You know and the beauty of this system, too, is I can do everything from my phone. I can pull up this same thing and I can start an extra chiller or I can stop another chiller. I can, change the setting on a guest, on a meeting room fan; turn a fan off if I see it running.

Nice thing about that is–if your operator doesn’t have easy access to this stuff, they’re not going to do it and so they may see something that isn’t quite right, but, you know, “I don’t want to go downstairs and fix that.” With, with the phone app, it, it makes it easy

Being able to jump right on something, makes a huge difference.

Yeah, exactly.

I love the way you guys are putting new technology to work, like you are controlling the lighting with your smartphone.
