<br>The carbon footprint of the property industry is huge! Buildings are responsible for 40% of the global energy consumption and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. Urbanization continues at a rapid pace and construction of new buildings are on the rise, which poses serious threats to the climate and natural resources. <br> <br> IQnext is an initiative towards a sustainable future through efficient energy utilization leveraging the power of IoT, cloud and data analytics. It is a cloud-based platform that uses a centralized, connected and data-driven approach to transform the way buildings operate. <br> <br> IQnext's vision is to develop an intuitive and highly scalable solution that connects a large number of buildings and provides real-time data to increase operational visibility and encourage intelligent decision making. At the core of IQnext, a rule-based engine collects data from a large number of devices and uses advanced data analytics, eliminating the manual effort required for device management. By enabling automation of all device behaviors based on real-time occupancy trends, it optimizes energy consumption and embodies the true essence of smart buildings. <br> <br> As design partners of IQnext, Aufait UX built a highly simplified, uncluttered and intuitive UX and UI for the platform. As it had to connect and visualize data from a myriad of devices and locations, the interface had certain inherent complexities. Our goal in designing the UX and UI was to simplify navigation, minimize the chances of errors and use effective data visualizations for quick and easy decision making. We succeeded in delivering an easy and pleasant experience that enabled users to reimagine building management. <br><br> See the working of IQnext <a href="https://youtu.be/exFgWW4nXj0" target="_blank"> here </a>
