Enlighted Inc., a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for commercial buildings, has announced the launch of two web applications: Enlighted Aire, a tool that provides demand-driven heating and / or cooling control, and Enlighted Space, a tool that provides rich visualization and reporting of building utilization. These web applications provide easy-to-use tools for vice presidents of real estate, facility managers and other building advisors to glean insights, like energy usage, space utilization and worker productivity, from their commercial spaces and expands the company’s fully comprehensive IoT platform offering for its customers.

"We're excited to create a clearer line of communication between building managers and inhabitants and the spaces that they use every day," said Chief Technology Officer Tanuj Mohan at Enlighted. "These applications are the next step in making IoT achievable - and more importantly, meaningful - for companies looking to extract further efficiencies from their buildings."

Enlighted's comprehensive IoT platform allows companies to gather insights via its unmatched smart sensor technology that offers real-time analysis of what happens inside buildings. Through light, individual heat and motion detection, customers can now access these smart insights from web applications with ease to drive efficiencies and cost saving initiatives in their organizations. A recent McKinsey report estimates that the IoT could have an economic impact of upwards of $11 trillion a year by 2025. Out of the nine settings where value may accrue, more than half involve commercial buildings, leaving the market largely untapped.

"There are three critical elements needed to encourage adoption of commercial IoT and for it to deliver tangible results," said Bob O’Donnell, chief analyst at TECHnalysis Research. "First, a comprehensive platform made up of a dense array of sensor endpoints connected to a network delivering real-time building data. Second, a financing program lowering financial risks to adoption. Finally, apps allowing building managers to respond to the information gathered by the platform."

About Enlighted Aire:

The Enlighted Aire web application has been tested with Fortune 500 technology companies in Silicon Valley as well as other organizations for nine months, and provides access to building managers to control heating, ventilation and air conditioning in commercial spaces. This easy-to-use tool helps maximize investment in Direct Digital Control systems with Variable Air Volume (VAV) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) which creates optimal comfort for employees and drives business efficiencies.

Enlighted Aire provides a dynamic view of energy savings by displaying customizable time schedules and reporting real-time updates on setback status, utilization and temperature by zone. For more information on the tool, please download imagery here and a product sheet here.

About Enlighted Space:

The Enlighted Space application has been tested with Fortune 500 technology and telecommunication companies for nine months. This application provides deeper insight into how individual spaces in buildings are being used in order to best inform energy efficiencies and space planning. Customers are able to safely and anonymously measure usage of their work spaces to identify under-utilized spaces and develop optimization strategies.
