The business of managing buildings has never been more complex. You’ve got multiple systems from myriad vendors, each with its own set of communication protocols, monitoring, controls and reports. You’re tracking utility meters, data centers, HVAC, lighting, plug loads and occupancy — in one building or in a dozen countries around the globe. And the stakeholders in your company need you to provide real-time reports of information that will help them achieve their mandates — all of which are different. The whole thing is enough to get you lost in a forest of spreadsheets.

A picture is worth a thousand spreadsheets. Introducing the Integrated Building Interface System, the smart path to smarter buildings. View your entire enterprise’s global real-time energy usage in one exquisite graphic — or zoom in and check the plug load in a single office. Collaborate with colleagues around the globe, communicating information in dazzling visuals that get everyone on the same page quickly. Customize IBIS to your needs, building out at your own pace as your enterprise and budget grow, with a variety of modules that show you exactly what you need to know when you need to know it. Receive

notification of costly energy anomalies the minute they happen — and fix them from wherever you are, even if you’re halfway around the world. And confidently showcase your minimized footprint and savings with reliable, verifiable data.

Integrate your systems. Improve your vision.IBIS is a holistic, comprehensive suite of modular software and expert services that integrates all your existing and future systems and provides you with real-time, easy-to-understand visual overviews of your enterprise’s energy usage. It streamlines the information you need and takes automated commissioning to a whole new level. IBIS is designed as an open-protocol, vendor- and technology-agnostic software platform. This means we can integrate your entire systems portfolio. The result? Improved productivity and opportunities for big savings. Fast.

The antidote to complexity.Whether you have one building or 20 campuses spanning the globe, IBIS streamlines your energy systems’ management and reporting. It provides building commissioning and gives you real-time actionable information in a graphically rich, intuitive interface — no more wading through spreadsheet after spreadsheet of extraneous data from disparate systems.

Startup is fast and affordable, and you can immediately begin seeing opportunities for savings. As your enterprise and budget grow, choose from a wide variety of macro-to-micro and need-based modules and build out at your own pace.

IBIS integrates all your existing and future systems.

Soaring High and Digging Deep IBIS is more than an acronym for Intelligent Building Interface System. In fact, the name has a profound connection to nature and the environment.

Ibis is a family of wading birds found mostly in the wetlands of tropical or subtropical climates. Distinguished by its long, curved beak, which it uses to probe layers of soil to find nourishment, ibis can also take the broad view, soaring high and flying up to 3,000 km to search for food and water.

Due to the depletion of wetlands habitats, some species of ibis have become extinct and others are endangered. Environmental researchers therefore consider the presence of an ibis colony in a given wetlands area an indicator of environmental health and balance.

Democratize your data.Energy is everyone’s business. The challenge is that each person at the table is looking for different information about your energy usage — and their ‘tables’ may be in seven different countries.

IBIS provides a centralized interface, visual solution to measuring, managing, analyzing, alarming, reporting and controlling multiple aspects of your disparate enterprise systems. This data visualization allows you to communicate substantial information in a succinct manner — no translation required. It gets everyone on the same page quickly, regardless of location or technical knowledge, so you can collaborate across functions to align your energy and business strategies.

The Human FactorThe IBIS interface was inspired by the U.S. Army, which is experimenting with adapting video game technology to helicopter and tank controls. The idea is that people are more likely to engage with an interface that is visual, intuitive, fun and familiar. Don’t let that fool you, though — the backbone of IBIS is robust data.

Make decisions based on reliable, verifiable, normalized data, and

transparently showcase your results.

See it all. Do it all.As a comprehensive system of software and services, IBIS saves time, money, energy — and the environment. It allows you to monitor and manage multiple aspects of your energy usage, from carbon, electric, gas and water to a variety of renewables. Keep track of your Energy Star rating and gain LEED points. See the big picture and the small, and weed out local and global inefficiencies across your network infrastructure, all from a single Web-based or mobile interface.

IBIS reports are equally comprehensive. Choose data-point intervals ranging from by-the-second to annually, and compare your usage to your baseline or benchmark, to days with similar weather or occupancy, or even to next year’s projections.

Fresh data is better. Real-time data translates to real-time savings. IBIS provides you with up-to-the-second information about your usage, savings and systems performance. Using NIST fault detection criteria, IBIS detects component or subsystem anomalies as they happen and immediately sends text or email notifications — along with the probable cause. This means you can solve costly problems on the fly and see the savings instantly. Automated fault detection also means that engineers can spend valuable time focusing on other tasks, not poring over yesterday’s (or last month’s) spreadsheets. “Without IBIS, there’s a good chance we

never would have caught the chiller spike, and we would have gone on wasting

$300 a day forever.” — George Denise, Sr. Adobe Property Manager

IBIS comprises an integrated system of modules that enable users to monitor, trend, control, alarm, analyze and report various pre-set and user-defined parameters. Go at your own pace. Save money on a package that meets your needs, or mix and match individual modules. Add some now and others later. It’s up to you.

The benefits of modularity.Think of IBIS as a series of building blocks that lets you create the ideal energy management system for your needs. Want to automate your demand response efforts? Monitor your plug load? Check your carbon footprint? Whatever you want your energy use to look like, we’ll help you get there at your own pace, and according to your own mandates. You can build horizontally — installing IBIS Visionary in multiple buildings and comparing building performances around the world — or vertically, adding modules that transform data into actionable information through a variety of lenses.
