CIM PEAK vs FTW

CIM PEAK is an AI-powered building analytics platform for property owners and operating teams. It combines utility, building, and equipment information into a unified portfolio dataset, then continuously monitors equipment performance, utility use, tenant comfort, safety, and compliance. Its automated fault detection and diagnostics rules engine identifies building problems and sends alerts with step-by-step solutions. Teams can assign tasks, track progress, and upload photos from phones or tablets in a centralized workflow. PEAK is described as BMS-agnostic, connects with existing building systems, and can send alerts through Teams or Slack. Portfolio benchmarking, equipment health insights, and capital planning use real-time equipment performance data. Listed capabilities include portfolio energy monitoring, carbon tracking, automated utility-data import, and API access. The service runs on web, Android, and iOS. Pricing is on request and based on required data points. Partner pricing includes edge hardware, cloud hosting, onboarding support, and team training, with unlimited users per building.

FTW connects supported solar equipment, batteries, and car chargers from different brands for home energy use. Its Energyplan weighs charging needs, electricity prices and tariffs, solar and household forecasts, battery state, and efficiency to plan energy use. FTW Core checks proposed plans and commands against site and equipment limits, with a local fallback if the planner is unavailable. The beta indicates whether controlled devices are following FTW, waiting, limited, or need attention, using device readings and separate meter confirmation where available. Lua drivers connect supported meters, inverters, and batteries, although supported models, firmware, and verified functions vary. OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 chargers can connect to FTW's built-in server without a Lua driver, subject to their supported functions. FTW also lists API and Home Assistant connections for observation or automation. It runs on a user's own host, with Linux and Docker installation paths and Raspberry Pi or Linux deployment described. FTW is an early 0.x beta; active control requires a working site meter and confirmed main fuse rating.
