Learn More About BuildingSync?

*Date & Time: *Thu, May 10, 2018 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT

Have you heard of BuildingSync?, but aren?t sure what it really is or if it
should interest you? Have you not heard of it, but you?re curious now?

BuildingSync is a common schema for energy audit data that can be utilized
by different software and databases involved in the energy audit process.
It allows data to be more easily aggregated, compared, and exchanged
between different databases and software tools. This streamlines the
energy audit process, improving the value of the data, minimizing
duplication of effort for subsequent audits, and facilitating achievement
of greater energy efficiency.

BuildingSync was developed to address the lack of an industry-standard
collection format for energy audit data. Standardizing energy audit data
can help energy auditors, software providers, building owners, utilities,
and other entities by maximizing the value that can be obtained from each
set of data - value obtained through collaboration, comparison, and reuse.
