Business Challenge

The previous solution required a substantial amount of time and project management personnel for the initial integration. It heavily depended on hardware and did not support multiple users with different levels of access.

• The need to upgrade the energy monitoring and management platform offered to the clients.

• The need for one platform, so the customer can compare buildings with one another at one place, and determine the budget allocation to ensure those buildings are running efficiently.

First, the team worked with the back-end logic and front-end display, such as UI designs for different apartments, houses and building plans.

Solution

Later, the project shifted to WEB technologies as a core, due to a number of advantages presented by the web platform.

The final product was a cross-platform solution combining web, tablets, phones, and inbuilt sensor devices in apartments or houses - all using the latest Microsoft Azure cloud development technology.

The new system was developed with full automation. So users can have any type of energy savings plans. Also everything is accessed remotely and hosted in cloud, so one can check and update environment remotely.
