This white paper from Iota Communications explains that the energy consumption of a commercial building is continuously changing, based on a number of dynamic conditions—there is no static model of energy use. Better energy management, then, relies on having the right data at the right time, which allows building managers to be flexible and agile in their approach to energy reduction. This whitepaper discusses some of the parameters the IoT monitors and analyzes to uncover energy efficiency solutions, and describes two of the most impactful strategies organizations are implementing today—demand response and demand control. The document will be of interest to building developers, building operators, systems integrators, and technology suppliers.
