摘 要：Commercial buildings use 73% of all electricity consumed in the United States [30], and numerous studies suggest that there is a signi cant unrealized opportunity for savings [69, 72, 81]. One of the many reasons this problem persists in the face of nancial incentives is that owners and operators have very poor visibility into the operation of their buildings. Making changes to operations often requires expensive consultants, and the technological capacity for change is unnecessarily limited. Our thesis is that some of these issues are not simply failures of incentives and organization but failures of technology and imagination: with a better software framework, many aspects of building operation would be improved by innovative software applications.
