Serious Materials, a provider of high-tech solutions that reduce energy usage in the built environment, announced its new software-as-a-service platform that provides building owners and property managers with continuous monitoring, analysis, optimization and control of overall energy usage in commercial buildings. Used in more than 60 buildings in the United States and India, the SeriousEnergy Manager™, provides consistently fast energy-savings of 10% to 15% for rapid total solution payback in one to two years.
“Serious Materials’ offerings to date allow our customers to construct and retrofit buildings to save energy and save money,” said Kevin Surace, CEO of Serious Materials. “With 5 million commercial buildings in the United States alone, there is a huge opportunity to save money today. Our customers need the ability to manage, analyze, and maintain real energy-savings on an ongoing basis.”
According to the EPA, an average 30 percent of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted at energy costs of more than $100 billion per year in the United States alone. SeriousEnergy Manager addresses this immediate opportunity for savings by quickly demonstrating energy efficiency improvements for building owners and managers of an individual building or entire portfolio for commercial office buildings, schools and university campuses, government facilities, retail operations, and factories.
SeriousEnergy Manager is a secure web-based platform, with no software to install or maintain, that seamlessly integrates with building systems to continuously monitor energy usage. Based on proprietary algorithms, SeriousInsight™ advanced analytics integrates occupancy analysis, historical and external data to deliver real-time insight into energy usage and establish baselines, trends, and forecasting of energy consumption. The always-on service identifies ongoing, straightforward opportunities to save energy and optimize building system efficiencies, resulting in rapid ROI. The core technology of SeriousEnergy Manager™ originated from Serious Materials’ earlier acquisition of Valence Energy.
"Using the SeriousEnergy Manager’s advanced analytics at our headquarters enables us to go beyond basic energy monitoring to achieve greater energy savings,” said Anders Axelsson, senior vice president at Echelon, a smart grid company. “It positions SeriousEnergy Manager as a leader in energy management. The fact that it can be very quickly implemented using Echelon's SmartSever to get energy information makes it an ideal solution for energy management and commissioning in commercial buildings."
