ENERGY AND ANALYTICS: BIG DATA AND BUILDING TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

The goal of this book is to provide an energy manager's master reference for learning how to leverage "big data" style analytics to manage and coordinate the key issues in both energy supply and demand for a facility - and thereby to offer a more holistic approach for optimizing energy-related facility performance. The author provides the reader with a detailed explanation of the underlying systems technologies which enable big data in buildings, and how these technologies can be utilized to provide added cost benefit from energy efficiency, onsite solar and electricity markets. The book was written to serve as a primer on building automation systems (BAS) standards, web services, and electricity markets and programs, providing a complete tutorial on energy analytics hardware, software and internet-enabled offerings which successful energy managers must understand today.
