Existing buildings
Connect existing technology. Modernise in practical stages.
Existing buildings often combine equipment of different ages, controllers and communication methods. We establish a structured overview and develop a modernisation approach that makes sensible use of existing technology. A complete replacement is not always necessary.
We begin by surveying systems, interfaces and operating requirements. This leads to defined stages: make measurements available, detect faults, improve control strategies and connect suitable building services. Implementation is coordinated with the building’s use.
Demand-based
Align technology and control strategies with actual use and your building’s requirements.
Transparent
Organise measurements, states and alerts clearly for operation and service.
Scalable
Include suitable existing systems and add further areas on a documented foundation.
Technology in detail
Designed around your use.
Survey systems and interfaces
Record controllers, control panels and field devices and assess their communication options. A clear data-point schedule provides the foundation for organised integration.
Integrate existing systems
Connect suitable equipment through BACnet/IP, Modbus or approved manufacturer interfaces, for example. Protocol handling and data structures are matched to actual devices and the intended user interface.
Start with monitoring
Make temperatures, consumption and operating states visible before changing controls. Recorded data helps identify causes of deviations and prioritise measures.
Improve control selectively
Review schedules, setpoints and coordination between heating, cooling and ventilation. Document changes, test functionality and assess results using operating data.
Organise phased upgrades
Plan measures by plant, use area or building section. Coordinate switching and interventions with the operating team so the upgrade follows the agreed scope.
Preserve maintainability
Update drawings, access arrangements and system descriptions. Clear visualisation and staff training support long-term maintenance.
From concept to operation
Assessment & concept
Review use, existing equipment and interfaces together. Define suitable functions and the technical scope based on the findings.
Design & implementation
Coordinate control strategies, measurement points and operation. Install and integrate systems in the agreed project stages.
Commissioning & operation
Test functions, document settings and train responsible staff. Operating data provides the basis for further improvements.
