March 19, 2008—PeopleCube, a leading provider of on-demand workplace and resource management technology, and Buildign Sustainability Ltd. (BSL), a leading provider of energy-efficient building solutions, have integrated PeopleCube’s Resource Scheduler intelligent workplace scheduling solution with Building Sustainability’s Footprint Tracker energy consumption and carbon emissions tracking application.
This combination enables companies to monitor and reduce energy consumption based on efficient scheduling and utilization of workspace and energy resources, resulting in lower costs for energy (e.g., heating and lighting) and reduced carbon emissions.
By integrating the two solutions, the companies say they are able to offer customers a comprehensive, intuitive eco-friendly building management system that helps reduce real estate and energy costs while simultaneously conserving natural resources.
PeopleCube’s Resource Scheduler solution is an on-demand workplace and resource management application that allows organizations to utilize space more efficiently, which in turn empowers them to reduce real-estate needs/costs and to decrease energy costs as a result of effective resource usage. It includes a wide variety of features and functionality to implement office hoteling/hot desking work environments, schedule conference rooms and services, reserve videoconferencing systems, and report on workspace utilization.
Building Sustainability’s Footprint Tracker software suite is a management information system that collects all information about the energy usage of a building and its occupiers. It calculates the energy costs and the resulting carbon footprint of the facility, and presents the data in an easy-to-understand Web-accessible dashboard format.
In addition, the Footprint Tracker can be integrated with wearable location badge sensors to allow individuals to manage their use of energy. Individuals can control lighting, HVAC, computers, and other local resources, based on personal profiles and location.
