ACE IoT Solutions, a leading provider of open-source infrastructure data management tools, has announced a partnership with a New Zealand HVAC software company, BTune.
The partnership will create a new carbon solution for the building industry.
BTune, which provides a retro-commissioning solution, is backed by Beca, a leading building advisory firm in the Asia-Pacific.
"Our customers have interest in using data analytics to improve the performance of buildings, but they are concerned about being overwhelmed by alarms and alerts," Bill Maguire, co-founder of ACE IoT Solutions, explained.
“Combining our data tools with BTune's technology allows us to offer a building optimization solution without the risk of alarm overload."
BTune, a market-leading HVAC retro-commissioning solution for non-residential buildings, uses Automated System Optimization (ASO) to quickly optimize the entire HVAC system to best practice energy efficiency performance.
The company has a proven track record of reducing whole-building Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions by 15-20 per cent, all with no upfront cost to building owners and with no equipment upgrades required.
As "data plumbers" for buildings, ACE IoT Solutions has developed gateways and tools that enable building owners and their vendors to establish a robust and cost-effective independent data layer designed to acquire data from connected systems throughout a building and trend the collected data to the cloud in real-time.
BTune founder & CEO, Shaan Cory, said building owners have a tough challenge meeting building performance and emissions regulations without disrupting their business.
“Not only can we help building owners make significant reductions in energy use and carbon emissions, we can also save them money in the process,” Cory said.
Though the two companies have been working together since 2021, this announcement represents the next stage of ACE IoT Solutions' collaboration with BTune.
Founded in 2018, ACE IoT Solutions is a software development company based in Washington.
