Group14’s in-house developed BuildingBlox tools harness the power of technology to enhance our building services. This includes sophisticated tools built on the SkySpark software platform to optimize building performance from design through long term operation. Our other BuildingBlox tools were developed from decades of experience in sustainable building materials, economic analysis for energy measures, and more.

Re:Tune
Group14 utilizes the SkySpark software platform to monitor buildings and enhance our commissioning process. Group14 has SkySpark programmers on staff who have developed a suite of tools for SkySpark called Re:Tune. This SkySpark tool kit includes scripts to easily integrate data, rules to automatically detect issues, analytics to perform M&V with high accuracy, and dashboard components to turn data into actionable information. This tool kit increases the power of SkySpark with a faster deployment, more issues identified, and better energy savings results.
