Today’s partial solar eclipse will be spectacular to watch, but it’s also an opportunity for scientists to observe what happens when sunlight and environmental conditions change unusually quickly.
And that’s where there’s an interesting connection with smart buildings.
BEMS continually monitor changing conditions and respond to them, while the data generated helps us understand how a building is actually performing.
At System Five, we design, deliver, maintain and optimise BEMS to effectively control and monitor building services.
At analytics4energy, we take the data generated by buildings and turn it into meaningful insight, helping identify trends, inefficiencies and opportunities to improve performance.
So, while scientists will be watching closely to see what the eclipse can tell us, we’ll be interested in what the buildings have to say too.
If you’d like to understand more about what your building data could be telling you, get in touch with us at 4energy group.
And if you’re watching the eclipse, enjoy the spectacle, but please do it safely with approved eclipse glasses or a pinhole viewer – your eyes will thank you!
