Transforming buildings to be smart and sustainable

Building owners and managers are searching for ways to make operations run as smoothly as possible while meeting sustainability goals and regulations. The evolution of smart buildings has allowed for more user-friendly and energy efficient solutions.

Smart buildings utilise technology to increase efficiency in operations and promote outstanding results for users, whereas sustainable buildings reduce the negative impact on the natural environment through natural materials, lower energy usage and decreased carbon emissions.

How does amBX support smart buildings?

We enable smart buildings with our control software and create interoperable solutions that connect building services for smart building solutions. Through connecting various systems and devices within buildings, collecting and aggregating data and creating custom dashboards, data can be utilised in real-time.

SmartCore - Our smart lighting control platform brings all the lighting sensor and data management functionality demanded by smart buildings together.

UI Products - Our SmartCore software also powers a range of UI products, including Emergency Lighting Control, Circadian Lighting and Facility Manager Tools.

ESG Simulator – Physical spaces can be replicated in the virtual world. Lighting energy usage data can be simulated and role-played to gain an understanding of the best energy strategy for your smart building before applying it to the physical asset.

Our digital twin architecture can deliver current usage values, energy, efficiency, and carbon emissions for lighting to support a detailed ESG report.

How are smart buildings more sustainable?

Smart building technology goes hand in hand with sustainable solutions. By using smart platforms to connect building management systems, smart technology can contribute to positive outcomes for building occupants, owners, and the environment.

These interconnected systems deliver data and insights to one place so that building managers can ensure that a building is operating as efficiently and sustainably as possible. Data analytics can also identify opportunities to improve building operations and the environment for occupants by optimising how a space is used.

By optimising systems such as lighting, heating and air conditioning, it not only helps a building to react to its occupants needs and therefore act more efficiently, but to decrease costs by making the use of energy and only using it when it is needed.

Smart platforms also provide data on the energy consumption of different systems such as lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, including use and overuse and insights on where adjustments can be made to save energy.

What are the benefits of smart buildings?

·       By implementing smart building technology now, it makes buildings innovative and future-proof to act more efficiently and promote sustainable practices for years to come.

·       Smart buildings can create automated processes which save time, energy and costs by reacting to the building environment. Lights and appliances can be programmed to turn off when they are not in use, reducing energy usage and the carbon footprint.

·       The data analytics provided are valuable information to monitor and predict the future of a building’s usage. This can be used to ensure that a building’s operations are improving to reduce energy usage.

By combining smart technology and building management systems, we can be part of the solution to create a more efficient and sustainable future for the building industry.
