The Connected Building
Precise management of your business estate and infrastructure using IP.
The Connected Building
The Connected Building harnesses the power of IP to manage your entire business estate and infrastructure with a precision that saves time, cuts costs and reduces emissions.
Most buildings are installed with multiple proprietary networks and isolated wiring for operating and controlling facility systems (i.e. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; Security and Access; Fire and Safety). As a result they are complex to operate and manage; have high installation, integration and ongoing maintenance costs; lack energy efficiency; and have limited automation functionality.
The Connected Building integrates these systems together on a single, common IP infrastructure to deliver improved management, monitoring and control of business operations and lower energy costs.
Heating, Ventilation & Air-Conditioning
 |
Reduce energy costs through intelligent IP networked heating, lighting and cooling systems; implement HVAC control strategies which dynamically adapt to occupancy profiles, office environment preferences, weather conditions and time settings.
Fire & Physical Security
 |
Streamline security operations, increase protection and enhance Health and Safety functionality by integrating IP video surveillance, door access control, fire and intruder alarms.
Energy Management
 |
Accurately meter, manage, control and reduce energy consumption; benchmark sites for expected energy usage and track performance against carbon emission targets.
Real estate & Hot desking
 |
The Connected Building facilitates home working and ‘hot desking’, allowing home based, mobile or remote workers to drop in and log on whenever they need to and enabling more efficient use of real estate.
