The vast majority of the built environment lacks any data solution to control and monitor energy loads, such as lighting or HVAC. Specifically, hotels have a very low penetration of wireless building automation beyond the central plant control (if that). This is due to the high cost of the data network. It is simply impossible to retrofit a cable based solution in a 24/7 operating environment without a major impact to revenues or meeting return-on-investment requirements. Existing wireless solutions are cumbersome and unreliable, based on 10+ year old technology. Conectric aims to solve this problem, reducing network costs by a factor of 10. This will unlock huge opportunities for greater building energy control and subsequently "bankable" performance based financing solutions which similarly exploded the rooftop solar market over the last three years.
