University of Virginia implemented ICONICS GENESIS64, Hyper Historian, AnalytiX, and related modules to create the Lighthouse platform. The system integrates data from BACnet, Modbus, OPC, and other sources across heating plants, chilled water loops, substations, and over 2,800 meters. It supports asset-based navigation, high-volume trending, anomaly detection, and billing reconciliation, recovering hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy costs.

Key takeaways

Campus-wide integration of 40,000+ BAS/SCADA points with Hyper Historian storing six billion samples annually

Asset-based navigation and dashboards enable comparison of energy use across buildings and plants

Billing reconciliation using Hyper Historian data identified and corrected meter and BAS issues

System supports BACnet, Modbus, OPC, Web Services, SNMP, and Microsoft platform integration

Future expansion planned for central alarming, forecasting, and research-specific dashboards
