- More scalable and secure local area mesh networking that won't interfere with enterprise WiFi;
- A powerful new cloud-based controls and analytics platform for management from anywhere; and
- New interoperability with BACnet/IP®-enabled building automation systems.
Scalability, Security and Ease of Management
"Controlling Plug Loads in buildings is a big opportunity for business and government to improve energy efficiency," said Constance H. Lau, CEO of Hawaiian Electric Industries. "Doing it right takes more reliable, secure products with time of use tracking and enterprise-class networking like Ibis Networks."
Plug Load today goes far beyond manual data loggers. It requires rapid response controls and robust two-way data communications that are more secure than standard WiFi networking. Ibis' V2.0 changes the market by dramatically lowering costs and staff time to manage Plug Load usage across a building and even a portfolio of buildings.
"One of the things that attracted us to invest in Ibis and accept them into our program is the low up-front cost and ease of installation for customers who don't have the time or people-power to manage energy use," said Dawn Lippert, Director of the Energy Excelerator. "That equates to more than 75% of the current commercial and government building stock that don't have full-time energy managers on staff."
"IT managers learned long ago that endpoint control is tough, and the endpoint today for energy is the ever increasing array of devices plugged into a building's wall sockets," said Michael Pfeffer, CEO of Ibis Networks. "It's a numbers game. The ratio of lighting or centralized heating and air conditioning controls can be as little as 100 to 1 compared to the number of electric outlets to manage in a commercial building. Without forcing wiring or panel upgrades or additions, Ibis' Version 2.0 products plug in, and within minutes, enterprises can measure, monitor, analyze and proactively control Plug Load at a scale unheard of before."
