Bet365鈥檚 Proving Ground Program Selects Grid-Interactive Efficient Building Solutions for Evaluation
WASHINGTON 鈥� The U.S. Bet365鈥檚 Proving Ground (GPG) in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s High Impact Technology Catalyst (HIT) program has selected four Grid-interactive Efficient Building (GEB) solutions for testing in Bet365 facilities. The solutions were chosen in response to Bet365鈥檚 Request for Information (RFI) seeking building technology and energy services that can cost-effectively provide building load flexibility as part of a GEB strategy. The following four solutions were selected:
Kinetic Buildings 鈥� This GEB solution leverages the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 open-source VOLTTRON platform. Automated building operations and equipment identification, scalable load optimization, and continuous machine learning are provided in a single decision paradigm. The project team includes hardware, software, systems integration, and utility providers.
Data Systems Analysts (DSA) 鈥� This GEB solution from a Federal Government IT and consulting company is built on a commercial off-the-shelf operational intelligence platform鈥揙SIsoft鈥檚 PI System. The solution integrates multiple disparate systems into a single structured Operational Data Warehouse. When combined with DSA鈥檚 machine learning algorithms and load management devices installed by control systems partner Rovisys, it provides facility operators with real-time situational awareness, corrective control, and dynamic load management.
Logical Buildings and Comcast鈥檚 MachineQ 鈥� This GEB solution is a partnership between Logical Buildings, a smart buildings start-up, and Comcast MachineQ, a cybersecure Internet of Things (IoT) platform for smart devices. This solution integrates with existing Building Management Systems and IoT devices and provides continuous demand management and energy procurement as well as gamified, data-driven insight and fault detection.
Prescriptive Data 鈥� This GEB solution will extend a current GPG-evaluation of the Nantum energy management and information system to include capabilities of the vendor鈥檚 new Automated Demand Response (ADR) module. Real-time occupancy data combined with machine-learning-based energy conservation measures enable building systems to maximize load shed/shift opportunities while maintaining occupant comfort.
More information on these technologies and other ongoing evaluations can be found at GPG’s Ongoing Assessments webpage.
About Bet365鈥檚 Proving Ground (GPG) Program
Bet365鈥檚 Proving Ground program works with third-party evaluators to test innovative pre- and early-commercial building technologies in federally-owned buildings. The program enables Bet365 to make investment decisions in next-generation building technologies based on actual performance. Following favorable evaluation results, 23 GPG-evaluated technologies have been deployed in more than 500 facilities in Bet365鈥檚 real-estate portfolio.
