St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 19, 2005 -– Gridlogix, Inc., a leading creator
of enabling interoperable Web services technology announced today that it is the
recipient of RealComm’s Digie Award for Most Innovative Technology for the
Building Automation industry. Annually for the past seven years, Realcomm
recognizes leaders of innovation in the Commercial Real Estate industry with its
prestigious Digie Award. This year’s winner, Gridlogix, exemplifies the
continued innovation that is taking place in the building automation industry
and further advances the creation of “smart buildings.”
“Finding fast
changing, exciting, yet tactical new technology is not difficult. However, every
once in a while a new idea, technology, concept, comes along that has industry
changing potential. It will change the way we work and play dramatically and
possibly without us even noticing. The Commercial Real Estate Technology sector
over the last couple of years has grown to new heights and is beginning to
understand what technology can mean to an inefficient industry. This award
focuses on those technologies that will dramatically change the way we live,
work and play and ultimately the way we use space”, explains Jim Young, Founder
and Producer, Realcomm.
Gridlogix was selected for the Digie Award for
its role in the real-time integration of building automation systems with
Property Management applications for the Belmar project, a 103-acre mixed-use
redeveloped by Continuum Partners in downtown Lakewood, Colorado.
By
deploying EnNET®, Gridlogix’s XML Web service middleware application, it allowed
the creation of a “utility style” automated meter reading system. The system
automatically captures meter readings from the BACnet control network and
integrates this real-time information with Yardi Systems’ Voyager property
management system. Thereby, providing a direct link between the data from the
energy meters and the tenant information maintained in the Yardi Voyager
application.
Immediate benefits to the customer include timely and
accurate energy consumption information integrated with tenant records and
billing information. In addition to, faster billing by property managers to
ensure timely and accurate payment by tenants upon move-out. Longer-term
benefits include improved tenant relations and reduced energy costs through
management’s analysis of real-time energy usage information.
