Abstract

A computer system is provided that includes a server configured to store a plurality of location accounts, each location account being associated with a physical space at a recorded geospatial location. The plurality of location accounts utilize shared data definitions of a physical space parameter. Each physical space is equipped with a corresponding on-premise sensor configured to detect measured values for the physical space parameter over time and send to the server a data stream indicating the measured values. The computer system further includes a network portal, via which an authorized user for a location account can selectively choose whether to share the measured values or a summary thereof with other location accounts via the network portal.
