A new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)-led Smart Energy Analytics Campaign has been announced to encourage the use of energy-saving building analytics platforms — also known as energy management information system (EMIS) technologies — in commercial buildings nationwide.

A new white paper from Navigant Research analyzes survey results from 202 respondents on the proliferation of energy efficient and intelligent building technologies in the commercial segment, providing insight into the customer point of view.

Automated Logic Corp. has announced new enhancements to its WebCTRL® building automation system. It now features optimized trend reporting, new visualization tools, mobile support capability, and Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR).

As the cost of advanced sensors has decreased and the amount of computational power and data storage has increased, buildings have become data-rich environments, notes Navigant Research.

Ecova, an energy and sustainability management company, announced that it has acquired Retroficiency, a leading building efficiency intelligence company. Ecova said it will leverage Retroficiency’s expertise in building analytics to drive energy savings and engagement for commercial and industrial customers, directly and through utilities.
