About this technology
Overview
When Ames Research Center built Sustainability Base, the “greenest” building in the Federal Government, it counted on producing more energy than it consumed. To monitor energy consumption and production, it turned to Ramon, California-based Integrated Building Solutions Inc., which, with help from Ames, also added fault detection to its existing energy dashboard. Today, that’s a standard component of its Intelligent Building Information System, which has been installed at corporate campuses across Silicon Valley and beyond.
