HVAC OPTIMIZATION WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
(previously called ecopilot®)
HOW DOES iBOS® Energy WORK?
iBOS® Energy integrates with existing Building Automation System and goes to work finding your building’s “balance point temperature”. Artificial Intelligence determines that number through real-time indoor data, 5-day weather forecasts and your building’s unique capacity for thermal mass. iBOS® Energy continuously calculates the energy balance between these factors, automatically and continuously adjusting set points for heating, cooling and ventilation – every two minutes.

iBOS® Energy ANALYSIS TOOL
Efficiency savings are automatic and continuous and your team can view iBOS®’s real-time impact on operations with the iBOS® Energy Analysis Tool. This 24/7 online dashboard display real-time energy consumption savings and helps building operators analyze the efficiency of your existing Building Management System with a suite of essential data and interactive illustrations, including:
REAL-TIME ENERGY SAVINGS
The dashboard provides a real-time look at actual energy consumption savings with iBOS® Energy. You’ll also receive energy alerts and historical data.
BUILDING CONDITIONS IN REAL TIME
See how current conditions like sun, wind and outdoor temperature affect your building’s performance. iBOS® Energy automatically applies this data to optimize HVAC efficiency.
INDOOR CLIMATE CONSISTENCY
Identify and control the most important parameters for maintaining an indoor temperature within user-specified comfort levels.
HOT SPOTS, COLD SPOTS
Access your building’s dynamic temperature map 24/7, with graphic displays mapping your building’s hot and cold zones in real time. This data helps maintain climate and point to areas where energy consumption can be improved.
CO2 & ATMOSPHERIC HUMIDITY
Our standard room sensors can be supplemented to measure CO2 and atmospheric humidity. Having these details gives you even more control over maintaining a pleasant indoor climate.
ENERGY-SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
You’ll also receive recommendations for additional energy saving measures. iBOS® Energy is a powerful tool for identifying imbalances, system failures and flaws in the connected heating/cooling systems.

SLASH YOUR
CO2 EMISSIONS.
Reducing energy consumption is the first step toward a cleaner environment and a more empowered organization.
"From the minute iBOS® Energy was turned on, it was able to identify several issues within the building we were not aware of, and that in itself delivered significant operational savings to us."
Pat Poirier, Director, Operational Sustainability
"Our commitment to delivering exceptional resident experiences, including their comfort, is a priority for us. iBOS® Energy delivered a more balanced internal climate that contributed to some energy and operating savings. This was a positive result from both a corporate and customer standpoint. We look forward to future possibilities throughout our residential portfolio."
Jennifer Poirier, VP Real Estate
"iBOS® Energy has enabled us to focus the attention of contractors to specific tasks therefore avoiding unnecessary costs to Parexel associated with making physical investigations."

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS.
iBOS® Energy requires integration with a building automation system that communicate either BACNet, Modbus, or other common communication protocols. Don’t have a BAS? We can add one. Also, does your building have a central system (boiler, chiller)? iBOS® Energy offsets supply temperature setpoints for heating loops, cooling loops, and air handling units, as well as start and stop of these systems when the long-term need for cooling or heating is not required. If VFD’s are in place, iBOS® Energy will also offset air and pump flows.
Immediately. You’ll see results the second iBOS® Energy is turned on.
No way! iBOS® Energy will not prevent your automation system from being overridden by building operators. Changes can also be made within iBOS® Energy by your building staff.
Yes! iBOS® Energy adds an extra layer of energy efficiency that will harness thermal properties to balance temperatures, optimize HVAC and modulate control strategy for greater efficiencies (and savings).
As part of our building assessment, you’ll provide us with historical energy consumption data. This will become the reference point for the calculation of how iBOS® Energy performs. The reference point data will be presented in the property’s energy signature in iBOS® Energy’s dashboard display. Read more about iBOS® Energy's M&V
Consider us a power add-on tool to your existing automation system. iBOS® Energy is based on over 15 years of commercial experience and more than 1,300 installations. Unlike your BAS, iBOS® Energy’s proprietary algorithm is inclusive of our extensive understanding of thermodynamics and weather forecasting. We collect these data elements and provide automatic and continuous energy savings based on the ever-changing balance point temperature.
