Overview
Leveraging the
full value of smart, connected technologies requires the right integration to
deliver improved intelligence around a variety of solutions within the modern
building.
The ‘smart
building’ incorporates technologies such as connectivity, automated lighting,
heating, ventilation and cooling, energy management, surveillance, security,
access control, alarm activation, renewable energy, building management and
more.
Intelligence
can be derived from the integration of these solutions, with each system
working together to create a more efficient, effective overall facility that
minimises the need for manual intervention.
We follow an integrated
approach to smart building design, harnessing the power of intelligent
technologies, automation and integration to deliver significant benefits to
both property owners and their tenants.

Industry Challenges
ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TENANTS
Property owners
need to make their buildings as attractive as possible to tenants in order to
obtain maximum rates per square metre for leases. Buildings need to meet the
requirements of tenants, and increasingly this requires integrated smart
technology as well as backup power solutions.
MAXIMISING THE POTENTIAL OF BMS
Building
Management Systems (BMS) focus to a large extent on power and Heating,
Ventilation, Air-conditioning and Cooling (HVAC). However, with integrated
smart technology BMS can deliver so much more. Property owners need to maximise
the potential benefits of BMS to drive greater value.
CHANGING NEEDS OF TENANTS
Tenants are faced with the
challenge of power outages, which affects access control, health and safety
compliance, security, connectivity and more. In addition, during these outages
tenants lose revenue.

Improved cost structures, better profitability
- Integrated solutions can reduce the initial investment
in deployment of various technologies
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership due to reduced
maintenance costs
- Optimised solutions and improved efficiency
- Potential for higher rental per m2
- More attractive to tenants
Alternate revenue streams
- Provision of connectivity to tenants as a value-added
service
- Digital advertising, interactive boards and mobile
apps can create more foot traffic and new revenue streams
- More effective management of rooftop real estate
ensures leases are properly managed. This can also free up space for renewable
energy solutions
Backup power solutions
- Improved shopping experiences in the retail
environment
- Reduced revenue loss for tenants
- Unique selling
points can attract tenants and boost rentals. These include generators, backup
electricity and renewable energy, as well as integrated access control and
security.
- Centralising
the management of the entire building and all connected technologies helps to
improve insight and intelligence.
- Smart buildings
support the deployment of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM),
- Integrates various security applications and devices
into a single user interface for enhanced security and control.
-
Enables organisations to
track all security information to improve security and support compliance
