The project will provide real-time monitoring, fault detection & diagnostics and ongoing monitoring-based commissioning for a 313,679 square foot building and its 600+ assets including chillers, boilers, and HVAC equipment. Built on Dell’s IoT Edge Gateway and FacilityConneX’s Intelligent Building Solution (powered by GE Digital’s Predix portfolio), this solution will be used to drive corporate initiatives within its facilities.

FacilityConneX will take the lead in reporting measurements, verification of energy reduction and identification of energy conservation measures (ECMs) to Eversource. Dell Technologies will also work with local utility Eversource to evaluate energy conservation findings and identify additional incentives for the Company.

The intelligent building market is currently realizing savings through analytics and data aggregation. With Dell Edge Gateway technologies, the connection and data aggregation with cloud IoT solutions, including the FacilityConneX platform, is secure so end users can focus on results.
