BuildingIQ’s measurement and verification (M&V) capabilities also helped it to reinforce its position within the Australian market. Its M&V module was named an approved way to directly generate Energy Savings Certificates under the New South Wales Energy Savings Scheme in Australia. The company has given hospitals, shopping centres, museums and commercial buildings across New South Wales the ability to easily start generating certificates with its software, which can be turned into an additional source of revenue.
