By using sensors that are already in place or installing cost-efficient IoT sensors, certification does not rely on one-time manual measurements. The sensor telemetry gives a year round picture of the indoor air quality or utilization that is more reliable than single sample measurements. With a continuous data stream, the performance and improvement efforts can be managed over time.
Complementing the sensor array to support a certification use case gives an approximate 30% cost advantage compared to manual measurements. However, with typical re-certification cycles of 3-5 years, the same sensors can serve many subsequent cycles where a +85% cost advantage can be achieved. Moreover, the sensor telemetry can be used to power many other applications and use cases, making the ROI on sensor driven certification even better.
LEED by US Green Building Council
Certify is tightly integrated with US Green Building Council’s Arc for LEED certification. ProptechOS buildings and sensors are linked to projects and meters in Arc. Consequently, consumption of all categories are continuously streamed into Arc. Performance statistics can be viewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis allowing building managers to see what score their buildings perform at, prior to certification or recertification. Managing LEED certifications of ProptechOS buildings can also be made by quickly and easily uploading historical data in bulk to Arc on demand.
