A truly intelligent building is one that measures understands, and reacts to its own behavior. But achieving this level of intelligence requires more than just efficient HVAC and lighting systems. Your building must have the capacity to automatically analyze all the data produced by its equipment, the resources it consumes, and the external environmental conditions to which it is subjected. Control systems alone are simply not designed to accomplish this.
SkySpark is a cloud-based analytics platform that can help you achieve true building intelligence. SkySpark automatically collects, manages, and analyzes data from your building's automation systems, metering systems, lighting, weather, and other smart devices. This allows you to identify issues, patterns, deviations, defects, and opportunities for operational improvement and cost reduction.
SkySpark also provides a suite of apps that allow you to visualize your data in an intuitive and visually compelling manner. This makes it easy to identify key patterns, correlations, and KPIs. And with SkySpark.Connect, you can get started quickly and easily by simply connecting your data.
If you're looking to take your building to the next level of intelligence, SkySpark is the solution for you.
