KENNESAW, Ga., March 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Automated Logic
Corporation (ALC) and Lucid today announced an alliance to create
the next generation of ALC's EnergyReports™ energy analysis and
reporting tool, which will make it easy for owners, operators and
energy managers to monitor, manage and report on building energy
performance. To achieve this, the new EnergyReports tool combines
building data from ALC's powerful WebCTRL®
building automation system with Lucid's industry-leading
BuildingOS® cloud-based energy management platform. ALC
is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United
Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
"We are excited to take our EnergyReports tool to the next level
together," says Mead Rusert, president, Automated Logic. "Lucid is
a pivotal player in the energy management space and our shared
dedication to simple, intuitive and powerful user interfaces aligns
us for success. The secure data connection between the
WebCTRL® building automation system and our new
cloud-based EnergyReports tool will provide peace of mind for our
customers as well as comprehensive, customizable energy
visualization and analysis."
With the new EnergyReports tool, building owners and operators
will be able to use their WebCTRL building automation system to
securely push data from a single building or a portfolio of
buildings to the cloud. From there, they can create graphs, charts,
reports and dashboards to visualize the building data, which will
enable them to:
- Analyze and normalize energy consumption across buildings
- Compare energy costs across buildings
- Convert energy consumption data to cost or carbon dioxide
emissions
- Benchmark building performance data against ENERGY
STAR® scores
- Identify performance issues to maximize building
efficiency
- Improve occupant comfort, productivity and engagement
- Drive energy conservation measures
The data visualizations are intuitive and flexible and can be
shared easily between operators, energy managers and executives,
allowing each to see the key performance indicators that matter
most to them.
"We are thrilled to be working with ALC to power their new
EnergyReports™ tool," says Will
Coleman, CEO, Lucid. "The collaboration enables ALC and
Lucid customers to leverage a seamless interface with the
WebCTRL® building automation system. Users will be able
to quickly and easily leverage their data to deliver insights that
can be understood by all stakeholders. Together we are making
building data much more actionable and valuable."
The new EnergyReports™ tool is expected to be available in Q3
2017 through Automated Logic field offices worldwide.
