The Pentagon selected ICONICS GENESIS32 for its Building Operations Command Center to provide centralized monitoring of building automation systems. The solution uses cascading pop-up menus and 3-D graphics to access over 500,000 data points across five wedges and rings. A 24/7 operations team uses the system for HVAC, fire, security, lighting, water, and hazardous agent monitoring with rapid three-click navigation to any subsystem.

Key takeaways
