SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Enlighted Inc., a
leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for
commercial buildings, has announced the launch of two web
applications: Enlighted Aire,a tool that provides demand-driven
heating and / or cooling control, and Enlighted Space, a tool that
provides rich visualization and reporting of building utilization.
These web applications provide easy-to-use tools for vice
presidents of real estate, facility managers and other building
advisors to glean insights, like energy usage, space utilization
and worker productivity, from their commercial spaces and expands
the company's fully comprehensive IoT platform offering for its
customers.
"We're excited to create a clearer line of communication between
building managers and inhabitants and the spaces that they use
every day," said Chief Technology Officer Tanuj Mohan at Enlighted. "These applications
are the next step in making IoT achievable – and more importantly,
meaningful – for companies looking to extract further efficiencies
from their buildings."
Enlighted's comprehensive IoT platform allows companies to
gather insights via its unmatched smart sensor technology that
offers real-time analysis of what happens inside buildings. Through
light, individual heat and motion detection, customers can now
access these smart insights from web applications with ease to
drive efficiencies and cost saving initiatives in their
organizations. A recent McKinsey report estimates that the IoT
could have an economic impact of upwards of $11 trillion a year by 2025. Out of the nine
settings where value may accrue, more than half involve commercial
buildings, leaving the market largely untapped.
"There are three critical elements needed to encourage adoption
of commercial IoT and for it to deliver tangible results," said
Bob O'Donnell, chief analyst at
TECHnalysis Research. "First, a comprehensive platform made up of a
dense array of sensor endpoints connected to a network delivering
real-time building data. Second, a financing program lowering
financial risks to adoption. Finally, apps allowing building
managers to respond to the information gathered by the
platform."
About Enlighted Aire:
The Enlighted Aire web application has been tested with Fortune
500 technology companies in Silicon Valley as well as other
organizations for nine months, and provides access to building
managers to control heating, ventilation and air conditioning in
commercial spaces. This easy-to-use tool helps maximize investment
in Direct Digital Control systems with Variable Air Volume (VAV)
and Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) which creates optimal comfort
for employees and drives business efficiencies.
Enlighted Aire provides a dynamic view of energy savings by
displaying customizable time schedules and reporting real-time
updates on setback status, utilization and temperature by zone. For

About Enlighted Space:
The Enlighted Space application has been tested with Fortune 500
technology and telecommunication companies for nine months. This
application provides deeper insight into how individual spaces in
buildings are being used in order to best inform energy
efficiencies and space planning. Customers are able to safely and
anonymously measure usage of their work spaces to identify
under-utilized spaces and develop optimization strategies.

Today, Enlighted also announced that the company has teamed with
real estate services leader JLL to bring the new applications /
services suite to JLL's clients.
JLL clients have expressed interest in the cost savings and more
importantly, the increased insight about their assets that the
Enlighted apps provide. Concern about assets being utilized
efficiently and more sustainably is driving growing interest.
Research from the Rocky Mountain Institute finds that building
savings opportunities across a building platform. Clients spend as
much as $3 per sq/ft on energy,
$30 per sq/ft on operations and rent
and as much as $300 per sq/ft on
employee comfort and salaries. With Enlighted IoT solutions,
clients can comprehensively realize savings across all three
areas.
The Enlighted app suite will be managed under JLL's Power
Plus+ program, an integration of leading-edge technology and
JLL services that delivers turn-key solutions for occupancy data,
reduced lighting costs, and increased employee productivity. Under
this partnership, JLL will serve as the change management,
implementation, project management and service point of contact for
Fortune 500 customers, and Enlighted will provide technology
solutions and the company's unique Global Energy Optimization (GEO)
service model, allowing companies to reap immediate energy and cost
savings by requiring no-money-down financing and no leasing of the
company's IoT solutions. These solutions have helped reduce
commercial real estate's carbon impact by approximately 200,000
tons – the equivalent of planting more than 4.5 million trees.
"JLL and Enlighted's platform will provide actionable data to
help our clients make better strategic and tactical real estate
decisions," said John Hampton,
Senior Vice President at JLL. "JLL Power Plus+ combines Enlighted's
advanced sensor technology and web applications with JLL's
