The future of business is technology, with constant development and improvements it’s the way forward. So what does this mean for your business?

 Buildings are a goldmine for data, be it temperatures, valve positions, fans speed, meter readings, occupancy, you name it. All of this information is there to be harvested, and then used to direct the future of these buildings, such as improve user experience, or reduce it’s carbon footprint, or even both.

How can building data be captured?

Smart building technologies, such as building energy management systems (BeMS), integrated workplace management systems (IWMSs), internet of things (IoT) devices and networked sensors, enable facility owners to equip themselves with valuable data on the condition and performance of building infrastructure.

How can analysing building data benefit businesses?

By monitoring and evaluating data from smart building technologies, the analytics boasts several benefits:

  • Managing facility systems, e.g., HVAC, lighting, metering, and energy
  • Budget forecast and utility consumption expenses
  • Strike a balance between various parameters e.g., energy efficiency and occupant comfort
  • Predictive maintenance to avoid unexpected equipment downtime
