41 very few checks compared with the over 4000 automated checks every day using the Clockworks system. The platform works by accessing a software gateway and subsequent polling of BMS to inform a model (including BMS data, control sequences, equipment schedules) which produces a diagnostic report for facilities teams. The impacts of this advanced analytics platform for building operators are energy savings, extended asset life, better reliability, and maintenance efficiency. For example, at the University of Iowa, 47 buildings were monitored for 3 years and $2.8 million were saved. The information model and expert system can also be integrated with artificial intelligence. Gayeski noted that the automatic conversion of energy usage to carbon metrics ultimately depends on the organization or client for the project. Discussion During the discussion, participants considered the subject of data privacy. Gayeski noted that data aggregation and anonymization are critical for use, since the building owner still ultimately owns the metered data.
