BuildingIQ Outcome-based Fault Detection (OFD) service

The BuildingIQ Outcome-based Fault Detection (OFD) service is a closed-loop building energy management service that helps building and portfolio operators identify issues, prioritise repairs and validate work performed. 

Through a combination of AI, energy analytics and human expertise, the service was created to overcome many of the shortcomings that plague today’s fault detection and diagnostic (FDD) services. These challenges include a deluge of daily faults that are cumbersome to prioritise and action; the high cost of defining and writing rules that identify faults due to a lack of documentation of how systems operate in reality versus the design documents; and a lack of accountability for fault validation. 

OFD works whether data is good or spotty and leverages machine learning to take the burden of data analytics into the cloud. The result is that building operators do not have to waste time and resources scouring through tables of hundreds of daily faults. Instead, operators can focus on the things that truly need fixing, their tenants and the bottom line.

OFD is the service on top of BuildingIQ’s 5i Intelligent Energy Platform.
