Are Commercial Buildings Ready for Open-Source Energy Management? Picture the lighting and chillers of commercial buildings being controlled by a system designed in the same way as Mozilla’s Firefox — through open source, the collaborative method of developing software source code.

Are Commercial Buildings Ready for Open-Source Energy Management?

While we’ve covered open source-based home area energy management systems, the OpenLynx project, started by Anno Scholten, vice president of business development for NovusEdge, is looking to tackle the underlying software that controls the energy consumption of massive commercial buildings. On the expo floor of the Connectivity Week conference in Santa Clara, Calif., on Tuesday, Scholten plans to show off a demo of the project’s first application built on OpenLynx: a smart meter reading service implemented in 26 commercial buildings by a company in Washington, D.C. Scholten told us after a roundtable talk on Monday that this first application will help prove the open-source building automation technology.

I am presiding on the Advisory Board for Sustainability at my company and heading the Data Acquisition and Reporting task force. After many searches for an Energy Management software suite for sustainability, very few were found and none were open source. What I would like to do is to manage the development of an open source energy management framework application companies and schools could use to monitor their energy usage and be able to report their findings to EnergyStar.gov and the GRI, Global Reporting Initiative. Since it would be open source, any company or university could download this application and go green. After some investigation about EnergyStar, they have a JAVA plugin that will exchange XML data to their site so any data can be automatically transported to them for reporting so, it would seem best to use JAVA, we could also interface JFreeReport or JFreeChart for reporting which is also in JAVA.

OpenEnergyMonitor. Other Energy Monitoring projects. Open Source Energy Management. What would you say if I told you if that the code being developed to manage energy systems is free and open to legal alteration?

What if the work being done on the code was only being done because a need was found by a community? You probably would be saying that sounds impossible. You would be wrong. Open Lynx, an open source community on the website, is setting out to create valuable software in energy management. The project is being spearheaded by vice-president of business development for NovusEdge, Anno Scholten. There really is a wealth of benefits to open-source development. This disruptive new method of development, feared by many energy management software companies, may prove to be the best and cheapest way to manage all the new technologies being developed today.
