“Our services can be deployed selectively to meet the needs of any building across any size portfolio or geography.”

With the ushering in of the Internet age, many argue that every aspect of daily life will soon be fully integrated with the web. Internet pioneer Steve Case of AOL fame coined this era as the Internet of Everything (IoE), spanning beyond today’s Internet of Things (IoT).

In the buildings industry, an Internet of Everything building might look like artificial intelligence (AI) working in perfect harmony with increasingly powerful, embedded processors within devices installed in the building. These intelligent buildings would have self-diagnostics capabilities and self-adjust to fluctuations in external or internal conditions.

In light of the above-mentioned scenario, we’re thrilled to present BuildingIQ, Inc.

BuildingIQ engages in the design, development, engineering, sale, and installation of integrated software projects in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Its software solutions are used for the reduction of energy, operations, and maintenance costs of various building systems, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

The company was incorporated in 2012 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.

BuildingIQ, Inc:Leading from the Front

BuildingIQ is an energy management software company whose mission is to redefine the way energy is managed in commercial buildings.
