Instead, Agilewaves is marketing to building owners directly. The information gleaned from the sensors can be sent to computers, mobile devices or third party monitoring services.

The innovative energy management system is also part of the recent emphasis on “Existing Buildings Commissioning,” which Agilewaves supports. The CEO of Agilewaves, Cary Vandenberg, explained more about BOStm and how it is set to change the way we save energy. See the full article.
