Trusted partner delivering award-winning Smart Buildings to clients across the UK
Master Systems Integrator (MSI) in the UK
Formed in 2008, we strive to meet the demands of UK System Houses, Building Owners, Managers, Consultants and Occupants by providing an open source platform able to communicate with all building systems.
This integration method provides an all-inclusive overview of a buildings performance, which assists in optimising and controlling the smart technology within to improve energy consumption, reduce operational costs and improve occupant wellbeing.
The key to everything we do is liaising with manufacturers, to understand product supply, support and training and the multiple use cases for various product options
As a Master Systems Integrator we have the capability to create detailed project documentation as well as following set procedures, processes and standards
A core strength of our business is our extensive experience with procedures and product/integration testing. We perform product testing for:
- Manufacturers and customers
- Testing during on-boarding of products
- Various stages of testing through project implementation
Our in-house IoT development team have faced and overcome numerous integration challenges, developing an exclusive suite of Niagara Drivers to enhance productivity and deliver advanced project capability. Our innovative new software platform, Smart Build Connect, enables streamlined asset management, connectivity and data validation, resulting in time savings and risk reduction for your Smart Building project.
Smart Building Project Objectives
There are usually 6 key elements in delivering a Smart Building project. While these elements can run in parallel, there are dependencies and items that bleed across from one onto another.
The deliverables have various touchpoints across the project smart phases, and as our role as an MSI we assist in managing these deliverables.
Smart Building Enablement
These projects entail more than connectivity between systems within the building, they also include a gateway allowing data to flow from the building services to a cloud, data lake or database
- Adopting consistent naming approach across devices and points
- Utilising standard open building communication protocols – Most commonly MQTT
- Data validation!
One of the latest requirements in Smart Buildings is for a time series database to store the smart enabled data
A key benefit here will be for the client to have open access to their data, and to change cloud platform while keeping historic data
Cloud Applications
Once a building is smart enabled, the scope for delivering to the business is huge
Whether this is tenant focussed, looking at reducing of costs by optimising your energy management, or increasing the use of data to perform predictive maintenance across buildings/ estates
We see there not being a single application here, but by correctly Smart Enabling a building, the client is able to ‘plug and play’ the relevant system at the relevant time
