Lucid Announces BuildingOS Facilities, Providing a Unified
View of the Operating Performance of Commercial Building Portfolios
BuildingOS Integrates Asset and Work Order Data into the
Leading Analytics and Reporting Platform for Building Operations
OAKLAND, Calif. -- May 2, 2018 -- Lucid, an Acuity Brands company and provider of the industry-leading BuildingOS® platform for building
data analytics, today announced the addition of BuildingOS
Facilities. The new product offering enables commercial building
owners and operators to integrate asset and work order data into Lucid’s
award-winning data analytics and reporting platform.
BuildingOS Facilities gives users the ability to centralize
critical asset and work order information from multiple systems to provide
consistent visibility across assets and sites, run portfolio and site-level
analytics on operations, open access to the data to a broader set of users, and
power better decision making about operations and capital investments.
BuildingOS Facilities provides a comprehensive view into operations across
commercial building portfolios to help drive lower operating costs and higher
occupant satisfaction and productivity.
“Lucid has been instrumental in the City of Orlando’s
ability to understand the unique types of data necessary to illustrate our
total cost of ownership for city facilities,” said Ian Lahiff, Energy Project
Manager, City of Orlando. “As we move toward Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer’s goal of
producing all municipal energy from renewable resources by 2030, it’s critical
we accurately account for inventory and share this information to engage
building occupants and residents.”
BuildingOS Facilities combines industry-leading metering,
system, expense, and IoT data integration with building asset information and
associated work order information through pre-built integrations to leading
work order and asset systems. This makes it easier to capture and analyze data
streams that have traditionally been housed in disparate systems. BuildingOS
users can now leverage powerful analytics for tracking, reporting and
performance optimization. For instance, operators can identify assets that need
to be replaced, uncover asset performance anomalies, and track resource
consumption by asset.
Building operators can combine these new data sets with
BuildingOS data from energy management systems, submetering, IoT, integrated
workplace management systems, and other systems, to easily centralize and share
insights across teams for better collaboration and more informed decision
making.
For the first time, building operators can leverage a
unified view of their assets, energy, and work order data to:
- Understand operating trends and asset conditions
- Analyze the total cost of ownership of buildings and assets
- Plan proactively and cost effectively for asset replacement
- Build the case for better building operating strategies
- Make more informed procurement decisions
“We have seen the pain that owners and operators of
commercial building portfolios feel as they try to use the data from their
different building systems. Connecting the dots between consumption, system
performance, maintenance, and assets will unlock critical insights that our
customers need to effectively operate their buildings, plan, and invest.” said
Will Coleman, CEO of Lucid. “With BuildingOS, operators now have complete
visibility across every aspect of building portfolio operations – from energy and
resource use to asset maintenance – helping deliver the performance and
experience users need and want.”
