Commercial & workplace

Make the building legible.

For assets where the facility team is outnumbered by systems, tenants and reporting requirements.

Quick answer

Offices, campuses and mixed-use assets where facility teams need to run HVAC, lighting, access and energy as one system.

01 / The challenge

The daily reality

Commercial buildings accumulate systems one project at a time. The result is a facility team that spends its day translating between interfaces instead of running the building.

After-hours HVAC requests arrive by phone, not by schedule.

Tenant comfort complaints cannot be traced to a specific system.

Energy reports are assembled manually from multiple portals.

Access, CCTV and fire alarms are reviewed in separate tools.

02 / Scope

What we bring into one model

Typical scope for a commercial asset. Final scope follows the audit.

HVAC & plant

Schedules, setpoints, plant sequencing, alarms and trend logs.

Lighting & shading

Occupancy control, daylight harvesting, scenes and façade protection.

Access control

Door status, remote release, event logs and CCTV linkage.

CCTV

Camera map, live view, event linkage and recording health.

Parking

Entry/exit status, space counts and exception alerts.

Energy meters

Sub-metering, baselines and tenant-level allocation.

Public address

Zone status and scheduled announcements.

Information displays

Device health, content status and fault alerts.

03 / Outcomes

What changes for the operator

What the operating team actually feels after go-live.

One alarm list, ranked by consequence

Alarms are normalised, deduplicated and routed to the role that can act on them.

Schedules that follow occupancy

HVAC and lighting follow the building, not a fixed clock or a manual override.

Tenant-level reporting

Energy and comfort data can be reported by floor, tenant or lease boundary.

Audit-ready records

Every command, setpoint change and acknowledgement is written to a searchable log.

04 / On the platform

How the solution lands on the three layers.

One architecture, tuned to the building type and operating model.

Application

Dashboards, mobile access, reports, tenant and guest views, portfolio rollups. Every role sees the building at the resolution it needs.

Operator workstationMobile appEnergy reportsTenant portal

Supervision

The integration core normalises every subsystem into a common object model, then applies schedules, interlocks, alarm routing and audit logging.

Unified data modelCross-system interlocksAlarm managementSchedules

Device

Loxone controllers and gateways connect the plant room, the floor and the guest room. Control stays local; the platform supervises.

05 / FAQ

Questions, answered

The things owners, consultants and integrators ask us most.

Can you integrate our existing BMS?

Yes. We typically keep the existing BMS for plant-level control and integrate it through BACnet/IP, Modbus or dry contacts. The IBMS becomes the common operating layer without forcing a rip-and-replace.

How do you handle multi-tenant energy reporting?

Sub-meters are mapped to tenant and lease boundaries during the audit. The platform stores interval data locally and produces allocation reports through the application layer.

Do we need a dedicated control room?

No. The operator interface runs on a standard workstation, and remote access can be enabled for authorised staff. Many clients run the building from a facilities office or a mobile device.

Can the system support ESG reporting?

The platform provides the metered data, baselines and trend exports. The reporting framework and assurance process remain with your sustainability team or consultant.
