Matthew BoyleInfogrid, a leader in AI-driven building automation, has acquired Buildings IOT’s adaptive technology to enhance its ability to optimize global real estate efficiency. This acquisition represents a crucial step in addressing climate impact by combining automation with advanced energy analytics to drive significant reductions in energy consumption, carbon emissions, and operational costs. As the real estate industry faces the pressure of net-zero targets, evolving space usage, and rising electricity costs, automation and AI become increasingly important, especially given the shortage of qualified engineering staff. The combined technologies from Infogrid and Buildings IOT will offer building owners real-time automated demand management, fault detection, and grid-interactive features, ensuring optimal energy usage. This integration accelerates the push toward low-carbon operations, making a tangible impact on decarbonization and sustainable real estate management. With this collaboration, Infogrid is positioned to provide real estate and facilities teams with innovative solutions to meet both environmental and financial goals, faster and more effectively than ever before. The integration of Buildings IOT’s team and technology into Infogrid’s portfolio marks a milestone for the future of intelligent building automation.
Infogrid Expands Climate Impact Solutions with Acquisition of Buildings IOT’s Adaptive Technology
Infogrid, a business that focuses on utilizing AI and data to reduce the international real estate industry’s climate impact, has made the announcement to purchase Buildings IOT’s adaptive buildings technology.
This corporate acquisition will bolster Infogrid’s capability to implement intelligent actions that optimise building efficiency, yielding significant energy, carbon, and cost savings on a global scale. It represents a major step in the development of building automation from merely analytical methods.
The commercial real estate sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the need to meet strict net-zero targets, negotiate increased regulations, manage fluctuating electricity costs and grid conditions, and adapt to changing space usage patterns as hybrid working becomes the norm. The common lack of qualified building engineering staff makes the integration of automation and AI into building operations becoming more important. These issues are further made worse by these issues.
Buildings IOT and Infogrid have huge collaborated on a vision to revolutionize building operations using automation and data. Real estate and facilities management organizations will gain a significant advantage from their combined technologies, which are currently facing market challenges.
Infogrid Enhances Energy Analytics and Building Automation with Buildings IOT Acquisition to Drive Efficiency and Carbon Reduction
Buildings IOT’s capabilities in automated demand management, advanced fault detection and diagnostics, and grid-interactive features will enhance Infogrid’s existing energy analytics offerings. Building owners and operators will have the ability to ensure that their properties run at optimum efficiency by anticipating grid conditions and automated measures to lower consumption and demand. These innovations will help clients realize value more swiftly, reduce operating costs, and reduce energy and carbon emissions while maximizing costs and comfort.
This acquisition of technology is a turning point in our effort to transform the built environment with technology that is both beneficial to the planet and to the base line, said CEO of Infogrid, Kate Henningsen. We can offer our clients extraordinary automation capabilities that help them realize energy, carbon, and cost savings more quickly and more quickly than ever by integrating Buildings IOT’s dynamic buildings capabilities with Infogrid’s suite of energy data and analytics tools. For real estate and facilities teams looking to reduce their environmental impact and operating budgets at scale, the mixed technology represents a new milestone.
“Buildings IOT was founded with the mission to revolutionise the way buildings operate”, added Brian Turner, CEO, Buildings IOT. The integration of the Infogrid and Buildings IOT technologies will be crucial in accelerating the transition to low-carbon and making substantial progress toward decarbonizing operations.
As part of the acquisition, 12 members of Buildings IOT’s team based in the US and Canada will join Infogrid, as the company integrates the Buildings IOT solution into its technology portfolio. Infogrid will continue to operate from its corporate headquarters in Washington, D. C. and London.
