Smart & Connected Buildings

Smart and connected buildings are more than just technology

Tomorrow's buildings rely on people and processes.

While we install, upgrade, and expand building controls, we also work with organizations to identify and implement the layers of technology needed to provide the device-level data visibility and governance they desire. For example, we connect automation and controls to computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and asset inventory to give clients a better understanding of their building systems, what they are doing, and how they contribute to the big picture of energy use.

Whether you're just starting with controls and automation or you have legacy systems that need to be integrated, we can find opportunities to unlock efficiencies across your portfolio.

But our sustainability experts are also people and process experts. We work with everyone from the facilities team to the finance team to ensure everyone gets the right data to make the right decisions for operating their business at peak efficiency.

Key Benefits

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Connect controls data with your CMMS to get better analytics. Then, further efficiency can be maximized by adding inventory data such as the equipment's make, model, and age. The result is better-informed work orders and faster repairs.

Be AI-Ready

Once you have gained full visibility and control over your building systems with a data repository to substantiate work orders and repairs, we can help you layer in artificial intelligence (AI) for fully automated decision-making at the device level.

Our integrated approach to facilities management can take your building-level visibility and control and zoom the lens out to encompass your entire portfolio. We can help you vet and deploy cloud-enabled building automation and energy management, and then we will work with your enterprise IT team for seamless adoption and roll-out.

Use Cases

Contractors

Reducing Contractor Visits

Imagine this common scenario: someone on-site makes a service call because their office is too hot or cold. A contractor arrives, only to discover it's an HVAC issue, not a controls one. They then send out an HVAC technician, who unfortunately doesn't have the right part. Now, you're facing a third visit. With a smart and connected building, the problem is identified from the start, ensuring the first visit is the only visit needed.

Faster Repairs

Faster Repairs

With fully integrated controls, automation, asset inventory data, and CMMS, the time from failure to repair is drastically reduced, meaning your organization spends more time operating to deliver on your core business.
