Pacific Controls launches Energy Services on the Cloud
The service offers real time measurement and verification of carbon footprint for homes, buildings and infrastructure globally using cloud computing
Pacific Controls, the leading automation solutions provider, announced that they have established a state-of-the-art Energy Services Global Command Control Centre at their headquarters building in Techno Park, Dubai, UAE.
The announcement was made at RealTech Middle East 2008, the international commercial and real estate technology summit. The two-day event, which is being held on November 3 and 4, 2008 in Dubai will present topics focusing on industry global best practices on technology, business automation and innovation
This Energy Services Global Command Control Centre will offer their Customers, Business Partner’s Government and international agencies, the ability to carry out real time measurement and verification of carbon footprint for homes, buildings and infrastructure globally in real time.
The Energy Services Global Command Control Centre creates a new dimension in the business of carbon footprint measurement and verification.
Pacific Controls has deployed their custom built high performance software platform on advanced distributed computing from IBM and networking technology from CISCO to offer energy services on the cloud computing at their Energy Services Global Command Control Centre in Dubai and at their Data Centres in New York, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Sydney which are seamlessly connected through the cloud enabling Pacific Controls global customers to leverage the latest technology of cloud computing to their advantage to manage and perform Energy Services in homes, buildings and infrastructure.
“We are pleased to announce this unique service that is being offered to customers around the world who require managed energy services, enabling a 24 X 7 X 365 monitoring measurement and verification of carbon footprint of assets. This new capability will enable Pacific Controls to offer energy services resulting in reduction of energy consumption in assets up to 20 per cent. These services are being offered at a fraction of the cost of traditional energy services currently available in the market”, said Dilip Rahulan, Chairman and CEO of Pacific Controls.
“We are proud to be a part of this initiative. Pacific Controls is investing over USD100 million to establish this global infrastructure to deliver cost effective energy services in millions of assets around the world,” added Dilip Rahulan.
Climate change has become one of the major challenges for mankind and for the natural environment. Greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere in ever rapidly growing volumes are recognized to be responsible for this change. Buildings are the main culprit. Carbon footprint quantification, analysis and reduction are keys to prevent further degradation of our environment.
As the need for energy services is increasing exponentially due to the threat of climate change, it has become mandatory to address the consumption of energy in homes, buildings and infrastructure as more than 45 per cent of the global energy produced is consumed by buildings. Pacific Controls global energy services on the cloud is a revolutionary approach towards quick and aggressive deployment of energy saving measures and the establishment of the Energy Services Global Command Control Centre offers value added knowledge process outsourcing services with subject matter specialist in all areas of energy functions available 24 X 7 X 365 for customers globally.
“The WWF Living Planet 2008 report highlights UAE as having the largest per capita carbon footprint in the world based on statistics gathered in 2005. This re-iterates the urgent need for implementing cost effective energy management and control systems in this region. This has motivated Pacific Controls to address energy savings in homes, buildings and infrastructure by using state of the art technology cost effectively with cloud computing”, said Nigel Mackenzie, CTO and Business Development Manager of Pacific Controls.
Through the Energy Services Global Command Control Centre, Pacific Controls provides Cloud computing system integration and managed infrastructure services for everyone from home to enterprise. It is a style of computing in which “Energy performance” related capabilities are provided “as a service”, allowing users to access them from the Internet ("on the cloud") anywhere in the world.
We leverage our computing cloud to embark on machine-machine (M2M) applications and use SaaS (Software as a service) right from real-time monitoring and verification to energy performance and carbon foot printing.
Energy performance can be classified as:
• Real-Time: the current real-time value of points.
• Historical : Bulk trend data of timestamp/point values
Cloud architecture assumes thousand’s of Pacific Controls U-Boxes all networked together and operating as a computing grid. Cloud architectures are intrinsically redundant and secure.
Pacific Controls offers Premium value based monitoring and advisory services through the Energy Services Global Command Control Centre. The Energy management services offered are: Energy Information and Decimation System -Carbon Footprint -Energy Benchmarking -Energy Efficiency Advisory Services - Annual Energy Budgeting and Targeting -Energy Efficiency Mapping- Energy Efficiency Measure and Retrofits.
