iWindows & SeriousEnergy Manager Showcased at CoreNet Summit

The theme at the Commercial Real Estate industry’s big spring gathering, the CoreNet Global Summit, is ‘Social Dynamics in the Workplace.’ Here ‘social dynamics’ is short for leveraging social media and mobile device technology. In support of the theme, CoreNet organizers have asked their baby boomer colleagues to actively listen to younger leaders. What they’ve learned is that healthy, sustainable environments are a top priority. When these ‘digital natives’ are not comfortable with the temperature, noise, lighting of their workspaces, they’ll ‘go mobile’ – even if the interaction with co-workers at the office would be a productivity boon. They’re also ready to get involved in their companies sustainability efforts and willing to embrace new technology that will help them reduce their carbon footprint.

Serious Energy is a natural participant in this conversation, and we are at CoreNet this week showcasing two of our newest products: iWindows, our revolutionary low-cost commercial glass retrofit system and SeriousEnergy Manager, our web-based platform for enterprise energy efficiency. Without replacing the existing glass or altering the exterior appearance of the building, iWindow enables rapid glazing retrofits of commercial buildings - at a fraction of the cost compared to full window replacements. Installs can happen in as fast as 20 minutes, so an iWindow retrofit can be rolled out without significantly disrupting building occupants.

With a similar emphasis on ease of implementation and cost efficiency, SeriousEnergy Manager helps property managers and owners establish and control budgets and performance targets at the building or building portfolio level or across any subsystem.

If you happen to be in Chicago, stop by CoreNet and see us at booth #506. We’d be glad to give you a demo. For those of you not able to make it to Chicago’s Navy Pier this week, real estate firm Jones Lang Lasalle is offering select CoreNet content online at its CoreNet2011 website.
