IBM software makes buildings energy efficient

Our apartment homes in future will be a lot more efficient than they currently are. Entwining technology with home electricity use, systems like IBM’s latest software will help users keep tabs on just how much energy they’ve been using, helping cut down unnecessary electricity usage during peak hours, indirectly cutting short electricity bills by considerable lengths. IBM’s new software works on a building’s energy efficiency as a whole, using multiple analytical tools to keep a wary eye on just how much energy residents use and check the energy consumption of heating systems, cooling systems, ventilators, refrigerating systems and the HVAC-R too, and also does good at pointing out problems in these systems.

With that, buildings, known to consume 70% of the energy in a grid, will go greener and more energy-efficient too!
