Energy and Smart Building Industry Blog

As a result of Covid-19, State and local requirements as well as personal safety have many retail store associates and customers wearing masks in the store. With the coming of summer, wearing masks has resulted in associates and customers becoming overheated and uncomfortable while working and shopping.  Several of our customers requested our assistance to propose a temporary solution to improve the comfort in their stores. Your needs may vary, but below are our recommended considerations.

Since 2004, PhoenixET’s Building View has been one of the most popular modules of our EnterpriseDX platform. Customers have said things like:

“It’s like an energy management system in your pocket,” and “BuildingView is an invaluable tool.”

Well, this month we’ve made Building View even better! If you’re a Building View user, you’ve no doubt noticed the beautiful new interface, but the latest release also includes valuable features like faster data updates, additional security features, and the ability to perform group commanding.

We are frequently asked about our mission in the energy industry and where the industry is heading. Our company leads by innovation. And at the heart of that innovation is creating tools for retail and commercial facility managers.

Evolving technology is giving energy and facility managers so many opportunities to manage all their locations that it is hard for them to keep up. Many hold the mistaken belief that they have to have huge budgets to get their hands on an excellent building management system, or they think they cannot even consider the option until they upgrade old facilities. The problem is, neither of these is true, and IT IS COSTING THEM MONEY NOW.
