Smart Buildings - Facility Management.
Energy Management
Energy consumption is a large part of the operating cost of a building. IoT technology enables optimizing the operation of legacy energy infrastructure to improve energy performance, reduce operating cost and increase sustainability.
IoT systems can be deployed horizontally to all your current infrastructure, from the Lighting system to the Heating, Colling and Ventilation system introducing advanced sensing, monitoring, analysis and automated actions.
Challenges
Difficulty in collecting reliable data efficiently
Energy is wasted unknowingly in operations
Undesirable occupant behaviour
Solutions
IoT LoRaWAN™ Wireless communication network to enable the collection of data from field sensors
Installation of sub-metering systems (electricity, water etc.)
Use of sensors to collect building usage and operation data (presence, people flow, indoor air quality etc.)
An IoT Platform to collect, analyze and present the data and generate alerts and notifications
Benefits
LoRaWAN™ enabled software and hardware systems are easily deployable, they do not required any retrofitting work or cables and thus have a very low capital cost
The real time collection of data and monitoring of the building operation and people behavior will allow the extraction of useful energy optimization decisions
More sustainable building operation and lower energy cost
LoRaWAN™ sensors offer flexibility in deployment, long battery life and high security
Indoor Environment
Healthy indoor environmental conditions are crucial for the well-being and comfort of the occupants. It is important for any company and/or facility manager to ensure a healthy environment for the building occupants that among other will significantly increase their productivity. Covid-19 pandemic brought this issue in the spotlight since maintaining a healthy environment decreases the possibilities of dispersion of airborne deceases. LoRaWAN™-based sensor technology offers a wide variety applications for monitoring and controlling the indoor environmetnal conditions through constant monitoring of the Air-Quality (CO2, Air Pressure, Particles etc.), temperature, humidity etc. as well as the occupants behavior (presence and flow). Moreover, LoRaWAN™ systems allow the control of HVAC Systems ensuring their optimized performance towards achieving healthy indoor environmental conditions with the lowest possible energy expenditure.
Challenges
Maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment
Provide the best possible indoor condition to your building occupants
Optimize the operation and energy expenditure of your buildings systems towards achieving the optimum indoor environmental condition.
Solutions
IoT LoRaWAN™ Wireless communication network to enable the collection of data from field sensors
Installation of LoRaWAN™ sensors to collect al the required data affecting the indoor environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light, noise, CO2 etc.)
Integration of your building’s HVAC System with LoRaWAN™ enabled controllers to automate and optimize their operation based on data analysis decisions.
An IoT Platform to collect, analyze and present the data and generate alerts and notifications
Benefits
LoRaWAN™ enabled software and hardware systems are easily deployable, they do not required any retrofitting work or cables and thus have a very low capital cost
Automating the operation of your buildings HVAC system and optimizing its performance based on the collected data and their analysis will achieve high energy expenditure reduction
LoRaWAN sensors offer flexibility in deployment, long battery life and high security
