Enlighted launches enterprise IoT web applications for commercial buildings.
Enlighted Inc., a provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for commercial buildings, launched Enlighted Aire to provide demand-driven heating and cooling control and Enlighted Space for rich visualization and reporting of building utilization. These web applications provide easy-to-use tools for monitoring building energy usage, space utilization and worker productivity with smart sensor technology that offers real-time analysis of what happens inside buildings. Through light, individual heat and motion detection, customers can access these smart insights from web applications for efficient and cost-saving buildings.
Construction funding goes on alert.
The construction industry has a new, web-based tool to provide construction funding transparency on all projects. DrawAlert is a state-of-the-art online portal that provides project and pre-lien dashboards, a peer-rated contractor directory and real-time transmission data of draw release data that is visible to all stakeholders, including banks, owners, general contractors, subcontractors and lien services. Here’s how it works:
- Lenders require use of the DrawAlert Portal.
- Owners invite their general contractor of choice.
- General contractors invite subcontractors and suppliers.
- Contractors can provide access to lien services.
- Everyone is notified when draws are released.
- All project members have a project-specific dashboard and resource directory.
