Sensus Machine Intelligence‘s VP of engineering Chuck Sloup presented his company’s product, an innovative technology solution that integrates utility infrastructure systems and resource conservation, at the March 31 Cornstalks Demo Night. Essentially, Sensus pulls all automated information systems from within buildings together into one control system – a central point to coordinate all actions. Sensus operates based on automated detections and diagnostics to prioritize “actionable” information to help deduce risks for building owners.

“If we know in advance an event is coming, [we] can look at the building, and determine how the building will perform when we want it to,” Sloup said.

By bringing together these systems internally, Sensus increases energy efficiency and produces energy savings of 10-30 percent, a range that has been consistently demonstrated across the industry, Sloup said.

Below are some of the key points of the Sloup’s Cornstalks presentation:

  • Sensus operates in the Demand Response industry with its goal to increase market penetration and provide customers with more details to identify what is working in their facilities and what needs to be corrected for operational efficiently.
  • The service provides detailed building information on exactly how the building is currently operating and a preview of what is happening to reduce the risk for building owners.
  • Through integration of web service based remote monitoring, Sensus reduces maintenance costs, machine down time and energy use within buildings.
  • The company distributes consolidated information primarily through notifications and streaming analyzed data and provides detailed building information on exactly how the building is currently operating and a preview of what will be done to reduce future risk for building owners.
  • Sensus has operations in the Smart Buildings Laboratory at the Peter Kiewit Institute, the only lab of its kind in the world for running these specific, supported experiments, Sloup said. Through Sensus’ partnership with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the lab has received more than $2 million in grants to perform additional research.
