Repurposing Building Energy Models (BEMs) for Use in Operations

The most valuable digital assets in your building portfolio are gathering dust. Here's how to wake them up and unlock millions in savings.

Every year, building owners invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in sophisticated Building Energy Models (BEMs) during the design phases of construction. These physics-based simulations represent the pinnacle of the building science tools used in the design and construction of buildings.  When used in operations, they add unique context by predicting a building’s optimum performance potential holistically and/or system-by-system. 

But here's the tragedy: the moment construction ends; these expensive digital assets are put to sleep. Filed away in project folders, these BEMs become what the industry calls "Sleeping Digital Twins."  They are dormant repositories of untapped potential that could revolutionize how your buildings perform in operations.

AUROS Insights™ is the first data layer development toolkit that awakens your sleeping Digital Twins by integrating physics-based modeling and simulation with real-time, time-series operational data.

Think of it as giving your building a continuous health monitor that not only tracks vital signs but compares them against the building's genetic potential, revealing exactly where performance gaps exist and how to close them.

AUROS Insights™ answers the two most important questions every building owner should ask: "What is my building's optimum performance potential?" and "Did I get what I paid for?"
