Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Monday, July 1st 2013 [ME NewsWire]
Pacific
Controls (PCS), the leading provider of ICT enabled managed services
and converged engineering solutions for buildings and infrastructure
projects globally, has partnered with Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, (Berkeley Lab), to develop technology that aims to reduce
energy use in buildings.
The Berkeley Lab, in Berkeley,
California, managed by the University of California, is a United States
Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory that conducts a wide
variety of unclassified scientific research for DOE’s Office of Science.
The
partnership, named the Building Research Incubator (BRI) project, will
evaluate the integration of Berkeley Lab’s focus areas including energy
simulation, automated demand response, advanced electric metering and
communication technologies using Galaxy, the state of the art platform
of platforms. Galaxy, the state-of-the-art enterprise service delivery
platform, launched in 2010 and hosted on the Pacific Controls Cloud
provides managed services across verticals for management of its
ecosystem comprising of energy, real estate, homeland security,
healthcare, hospitality, transportation, education, financial,
industrial and retail.
Mr. Dilip Rahulan, Executive Chairman,
PCS, said: “It is with immense pleasure and honour that we announce our
partnership with Berkeley Lab, an institution that has pioneered various
science solutions over the last eight decades. Pacific Controls is
funding for research staff to access real time building data and access
all major projects as a research partner in managed energy services and
demand response.”
He added: “The partnership will strive to
develop new technology solutions and standards that would help reduce
energy consumption in buildings worldwide. We are hopeful that the
partnership will help us and the industry to develop more effective
tools for reducing energy use.”
Dave Watson, program manager at
Berkeley Lab said, “Our partnership with Pacific Controls has enabled us
to conduct advanced energy research with great potential for both
short-term and long-term benefits to society. We are fortunate to find
private sector partners that share our vision”.
PCS will
provide funding and technical assistance with regard to integration with
their products and gain insights into cutting edge research performed
at Berkeley Lab. Pacific Controls will provide a global perspective to
the research and guidance to help advance the state-of-the-art solutions
in energy efficiency, demand response, sensors, controls and
communications for buildings.
