At kW Engineering, their goal is to empower your long-term success focusing on impactful, action-oriented, and results-driven solutions to meet your energy efficiency goals. Their proprietary platform, kW Link is an advanced energy information system (EIS) integrated with monitoring data, analytics, fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), real-time performance alerts, and reporting. However, it doesn’t stop there. It is also a one-stop shop for project management, managing and measuring goals, and communicating with your team. Powered by SkySpark, it can be installed on-premises or hosted in the cloud and seamlessly integrates with legacy or proprietary BAS or BMS.
Founded in 1998 by forward-thinking engineers, kW Engineering was established with the goal of becoming the leading technical experts in identifying opportunities to save energy and enhance their customer’s bottom lines in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. As a nationally certified Minority Business Enterprise, they have become a recognized leader in the energy industry, boasting a dedicated technical staff comprising over 55 energy engineers including 22 Licensed P.E.s and over 75 total staff. They offer a comprehensive suite of services to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions while increasing reliability, resiliency, and comfort through energy efficiency, decarbonization, and smart building solutions.
Further illustrating their deep expertise in optimizing buildings, recent years have witnessed kW Engineering's emergence as a trailblazing provider of monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) services, underpinned by their innovative “kW Link” software, built on the SkySpark platform. This technology serves as their preferred building analytics software, offering an automated, data-driven approach for deep retro-commissioning of existing facilities and commissioning new construction projects. To date, they have deployed SkySpark across over 20 million square feet of buildings including 8 million square feet of hospital and healthcare facilities. kW Engineering collaborates with the nation’s top institutions, including cutting-edge technology firms, higher education campuses, municipalities, and hospitals.
Innovative solutions are emerging that promise to liberate building owners from these closed ecosystems. In particular, one buzzword is on everyone’s lips as a beacon of hope for “freedom from lock-in”: open source. But what does “open source” really mean in the context of building automation, and can it deliver on its promise of flexibility and owner control?
Today's tools have not been very user-centric for the people on the ground, so those people ignore them—and the hoped-for efficiency and data insights never materialize. Now that’s starting to change. Gamification, AI, and behavioral psychology principles influence users to return frequently, spend more time on the platform, and even enjoy doing so.
