It’s no surprise that businesses can slash their energy bills with better building performance. But the upfront costs of the technology to boost performance can be a deal breaker: The American Council of Energy Efficient Economy predicts that $250 million dollars will be spent over the next decade on commercial and industrial building energy upgrades.

WIth its Building Dynamics wireless sensor system, newcomer Seldera hopes to help building owners who are struggling with performance woes – and watching their capital expenditure. The company has developed a lightweight, wireless sensor system to make existing buildings smarter.

It’s not really free: Customers pay no upfront costs, but agree to pay Seldera an amount equal to half of their energy savings each month for two years. Still, customers get lower electric bills — even after Seldera’s cut is factored in — without having to make an upfront investment. Essentially, Seldera provides the system and splits the benefits with its customers. read more

Building Intelligence for Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings

Posted on January 18, 2012

Andreas Savvides
Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Seldera LLC

Building intelligence is rapidly becoming an important resource for achieving and maintaining energy efficiency in commercial buildings. As renewable energy deployments and energy-efficiency upgrades are expanding to deliver cleaner and cheaper energy, ensuring that energy is consumed constructively can help maximize these benefits. If the intelligence existed to eliminate a few consumption redundancies dynamically, that might in fact result in higher and more immediate savings than other, more capital-intensive retrofit projects. The development of building intelligence can facilitate this by monitoring and reporting consumption at the sub-system level, developing models of occupant activities and supervising the overall building energy performance.
