Commercial Building Sector Dynamics...
Massive Driver of Demand... Struggling to Cope...

20%+ of all energy in the US
Sector slump with earnings,

Leading source of GHG market caps under pressure

Heating, Ventilation and Cooling
Increasing energy prices and

(HVAC) Systems: demand
- 40-50% of building energy

Substantial green requirements
- Nearly 10% of total US energy from investors, tenants and
demand / emissions government

Energy Innovation in Building Sector
Key Drivers:

Upgrades
- High capex with long payback

New materials
- New buildings only (1-3%)

Alternative energies
- Uncertain ROI, limited uptake

Energy efficiency
- Still mostly soft ROI and / or manual (audits/reporting, re-tuning, outsourcing)

Smart Grid
- Availability of scalable, demand-side solutions for largest market segments?

BuildingIQ Overview

BuildingIQ is a new demand management and response system for the
commercial building sector:
- Plugs into existing Building Management Control Systems (BMCS)
- Addresses both new & existing building stock
- Leverages external data, machine learning and proprietary algorithms to
continuously optimize BMCS controls
- Software only – no capex / upgrades required

Developed by scientists at the Energy Research Centre at CSIRO, Australia’s

national research lab (patents pending)

BuildingIQ improves property operating income / market value, increases

green ratings and enhances utility of existing plant

BuildingIQ enables real-time, adaptive demand response at the Edge of the

Smart Grid

Confidential
Impact

Hard savings:
- 30% reduction in energy (est.
$100k/ yr)
- Reduced HVAC operating
expenses; deferred capex

Valuation impact from increased
income and green ratings

Revenue from demand response

Other:
- Reduced emissions
- More attractive/ competitive
property
- Increased tenant retention

BuildingIQ in the Smart Grid

BuildingIQ reduces network demand by 30% while maintaining or
improving tenant comfort

BuildingIQ has unique insight into the Edge of the Grid

- detailed understanding of consumption history and trends
- ability to forecast demand at the building level, as well as run demand
scenarios
- ability to optimize cost and consumption based on actual performance as
well as real-time streams of environmental, tariff and other data

BuildingIQ has unique ability to manage demand at the Edge

- in response to specific situations (“reduce demand to X now”)
- tied to specific parameters (“if X degrees or warmer, never use more than XX
power between 2-5pm”)
- buildings can be managed on an aggregate basis

 The Smart Grid Buck Stops Here

The Challenge

Generally, customers don’t like:

• new technology
• changing their behavior
• crimping their style
• opting-in

Without transparency,
they are suspicious:
• of utilities (no offense)
• of smart meters
• of dynamic pricing
• of programs directly marketed by “Big Brother”.
