BUILDING IQ (BIQ)
SUMMARY ANALYSIS
MCAP: $15.3M @ 6.5c
Business :
Building IQ is an energy management software company headquartered in California whose mission is to redefine the way energy is managed in commercial buildings. BIQ’s suite of software offerings utilizes Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO)- the only energy management software platform that uses AI machine learning algorithm base system that provides ‘round the clock’ energy management optimization based on a thermal energy model that forecasts energy demand and automatically adjusts a building’s HVAC settings to continuously optimize energy use and peak loads. BIQ works with existing Building Energy Managements systems (BEMS) and utility demand response systems, and incorporates weather forecasts, occupant comfort, utility prices and demand response signals in its optimization algorithms. BIQ automatically reduces energy consumption, cost and emissions while maintaining or improving occupant comfort.

Building IQ provides award winning, cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) energy management and optimisation solution for owners and managers of large commercial building portfolios. BIQ’s 5i software platform utilises intelligent predictive analysis and automated control to consistently reduce heating, ventilation, and HVAC (air conditioning) energy usage costs (which collectively represent a significant portion of a building’s energy cost) by 10-25%.

BIQ is well placed to capitalise on the several macro trends, namely the long term rising trend of electricity prices and the demand for building efficiency and sustainability. The rise of “Internet of Things (IoT)” and cloud computing technologies has enabled innovative solutions, such as BiQ to combine technology intelligence and connectivity to unlock new value from existing assets at a lower cost and significantly faster ROI to traditional approaches.

BIQ’s core technology was originally developed and acquired from CSIRO (royalties no longer payable) and BIQ has since enhanced the technology to incorporate a Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) platform with energy efficiency and portfolio management capabilities,

BIQ operates in US(HQ) and Australia and is backed by strategic and financial investors including Exto Partners Australia Pty Ltd , Siemens Venture GMBH and Paladin Capital Group.

Operating with a SaaS revenue model, BIQ generates monthly recurring revenues via licence to its Saas platform which is generally charged on a per square foot basis.

What to like about BIQ?

Under the radar stock- the one stock premised on machine learning (AI) algorithm and predictive data analyses (Big Data) that the market has lost sight of!

Large global addressable market – the Building Energy Management system (BEMS) market is valued at US$2.5B in 2015 and expected to achieve a 18.2% CAGR to reach $US10.8B in 2024

Market Cap of $15m with a well-established technology and business platform significantly undervalues this microcap gem. Mcap/Revenue of 2.14x (based on $7.16m annualised revenues) is cheap for a SaaS model, BIQ is a fraction (just over 10%) of BUD’s (Buddy Platform) mcap and represents a significantly cheaper entry into the BEMS market. BIQ’s 5i PEO platform has the automated adjusting mechanism to change HVAC setting to optimal usage while BUD will be incorporating the automation in future release.

Enterprise Value of just $8m producing annual revenues of $7m with cash in hand of $7m!

Great technology with a much needed value proposition to reduce energy costs

Proven technology platform contracted in over 1,100 buildings in US and Australia on 5i platform including in landmark buildings such as Rockefeller Centre in New York.

BIQ has been honoured as Winner of AIRAH Award for Excellence in Innovation, Tech23’s Greatest Potential Award, Red Herring’s Asia 100 Award, Environmental Design + Construction and Sustainable Facility’s Readers’ Choice Award and Connectivity Week’s Buildy Award.
Low to no upfront cost (very low investment) to customers with immediate free cashflow to customers

Operating track record – To date, it has achieved an annualised recurring revenue of $7.1m . It has contract for 109million sq ft .

stock down 94 per cent since listing , 1100 building and still losing money , management awards more shares to themselves at 10 cents which is 90 percent down from listing price ,
something not right with this company , do they go to trade shows , do they have speakers at trade shows , why are they losing money with so many buildings ,
AND how does management award themselves shares when there not making money and share price has completely crashed , are the shares they awarded themselves have anything to do with there listing arrangements , or those years ago , i think not
I REPEAT HOW DOES MANAGEMENT AWARD THEMSELVES MORE SHARES
