Working with Energy Management Software Providers
Sentient’s solutions enhance the value of a portfolio energy management platform by providing access to real-time operational and equipment data from all sites. Although buildings will often have different manufacturers providing controls equipment throughout a portfolio, the Sentient Matrex™ solution acts as an integration hub pulling in all lower level field controllers connecting all monitoring and control points to your single platform in the cloud.
Validate your recommended energy conservation measures by providing real-time data analytics and continuous commissioning initiatives. Through Matrex™ and AwareNET, cost effective and easy to install equipment level monitoring solutions are available to put “meat on the bones” regarding your reports that deliver the highest impact cost reduction opportunities. Enhance your offering and increase revenue streams by becoming the proactive voice to your clients alerting them to inefficient equipment, scheduling and operational practices in real-time.
Based on your building energy analysis efforts, make recommendations to integrate end node devices such as thermostats, sensors, relays and actuators to monitor/control terminal units (fancoil, ptac, electric baseboards, window AC units, radiators) in apartments, hotel rooms, classrooms, and office spaces through AwareNET™. Our star to mesh network enables all of this equipment to report back to a central gateway and controller. This results in improved comfort for occupants by upgrading the control capabilities AND further optimized central plant operations by only running equipment for the precise length of time to satisfy the actual occupant demand throughout the entire day.
