Toggled Launches Toggled iQ Smart Building Control Solutions for Sustainable Operations
Toggled iQ's smart building platform improves building facilities management, increases energy efficiency, improves tenant satisfaction, and reduces costs
TROY, Mich., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Toggled, a wholly owned subsidiary of Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR) focused on smart building management solutions and lighting technology, today announced the roll-out of its comprehensive connected building data and device management solution, Toggled iQ. Leveraging the Internet of things (IoT), Toggled iQ helps businesses optimize their building environments by streamlining operations, improving energy efficiency, saving money, and reducing their carbon footprint, through the connection of smart connected lighting with wireless sensors, controls, and intuitive analytics.
Energy use is the largest operating expense for businesses, representing approximately one third of budgets, and negatively drives building operations' impact on climate change. To help organizations tackle this problem, Toggled iQ offers a proven solution that reduces energy through an easy-to-install, smart building platform. Its high-end electronics and cutting-edge software apply to a variety of use cases including, direct-wire LED retrofits, lighting control, HVAC, remote sensors, and smart building control.
"Most businesses want to make sustainability improvements to their building operations, but complexity and other concerns have stood in their way," said Daniel Hollenkamp Jr., chief operating officer, Toggled. "We've tackled the problem through an engineering-first approach, while leveraging our proven success in LED lighting. The result is a solution specifically designed to simplify and accelerate adoption, while giving end users more control over their smart-building environment. We deliver value from the onset and provide a flexible infrastructure for the future, which we believe are the keys to driving smart building adoption."
With more than a decade of experience in smart connected LED retrofit lighting, Toggled iQ has become a complete sustainable building ecosystem, which allows organizations to customize and control their lighting in real-time, whether it be a single fixture, room, building or group of properties, all from the convenience of the Toggled iQ mobile app. Using Toggled direct-wire LEDs, customers can upgrade their fluorescent lighting system and reduce energy consumption by up to 60 percent. Pairing the lighting with the Toggled iQ portfolio of sensors, switches, and soon-to-be-released controllers results in savings of 80% or more. Additionally, customers benefit from creating their own unique and scalable smart building environment, which gives them the power to reduce their carbon footprint.
"When organizations turn to smart technologies to more efficiently manage their building operations, they often deploy systems without considering existing connectivity capabilities, interoperability or the infrastructure requirements," said Gerry Cellucci, principal, Yorkland Controls. "Toggled iQ's approach is smart from the start, allowing building owners and operators to easily integrate lighting and smart devices to existing or new IoT and building automation systems, while also providing a scalable solution that can be easily modified in the future."
