The Benefits of IoT for Energy Assets Internet of Things (IoT) platforms have evolved. Advances in technology make it possible for facilities to become more data-driven by connecting to energy assets, thereby improving building resiliency and reducing energy costs. By creating an Energy Network of Things, facilities can manage energy assets in real-time, institute system-wide operational oversight and compliance, execute energy efficiency programs, utilize real-time data, and support budgeting and asset planning across local and geographically-dispersed sites. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Andy Marsh, Global Solutions Architect at Blue Pillar, Inc., will explore how IoT technology has evolved to redefine facilities management and allow businesses to take control their of their energy assets and energy future.
