Most commercial companies and factories nowadays are starting to better manage energy efficiency using A.I. and IoT solutions for building HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to minimize and save on unnecessary operation costs without sacrificing ambient comfort status.
Save on Hidden and Unnecessary Costs in the Long Run
One of the main factors in the popularity of building energy management system (EMS) is due to the rise in electricity costs. According to US Energy Information Administration (EIA), prices of electricity is expected to rise across different sectors in the coming years; for residential, rise from 12.97 to 13.33 US cents; for commercial, 10.72 to 10.80 US cents; and for industrial, 7.0 to 7.07 US cents.
Hardware components such as sensors, IoT communication gateway and edge computing controllers form the framework of building energy management system. These hardware components allow remote monitoring, data processing and integration of multi-protocol communication interface in the system.
The Smart & Compact IoT Gateway
Neousys IGT-20 (IGT-21) series is an ARM-based IoT gateway with an optimized thermal design that can sustain full load operation in -20~60 °C critical environments. The industrial nature of IGT-20 means it is in compliance with common industrial certifications such as CE/FCC, shock and vibration while capable of collecting remote data in real time, spanning an area of 10~15km.
AI Edge Computing Applications
Neousys Nuvo-6108GC-IGN, the winner of Jury's Special Award of Best Choice Award at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2018, is the first industrial-grade AI edge computing controller supporting NVIDIA® GPU up to 250W with Intel® Xeon® E3 v5 or 6th-Gen Core™ processor.
