For the property manager
Readings arrive without being asked for, statements build through the year, and some faults show up before the resident calls. And the intercom directory sits where the leases sit.
The connected building
A building that talks to the tool that runs it.
A building produces information all year round: consumption, alarms, entries, faults. The connected building brings it straight into the management platform, with no one having to ask for it or key it in.
The connected building is not a separate product.
It is an extension of the property management platform, and the order matters: the platform works on its own, the connected building works with it. Readings, alerts and statements have to arrive somewhere, and that place is the platform. A building is never connected «just to connect it».
In practice, a property manager can start with the platform without touching a single building, then equip buildings one by one, when each one's schedule allows.
What the building can tell you.
The wording is deliberate. We do not claim to see everything that can happen in a building: we receive what the installed equipment is able to report, and nothing else. What that covers today:
- Heat and water consumptionRead remotely and continuously, dwelling by dwelling, with no reading campaign and no site visit.
- The state of the technical plantBoiler room, lift, ventilation, heat pump: whatever the equipment can report arrives in the platform the moment it reports it.
- Solar output and storageWhat the roof produces, what the battery holds, what the building actually consumes.
- Vehicle chargingThe charging sessions of the building's charge points, with their consumption, over the open OCPP standard.
- Calls at the entranceThe door station's video call goes to the resident's phone wherever they are, and the door opens from the app.
- Reports from residentsAn incident reported from the app lands in the same stream as what the equipment says.
What comes back depends on what is installed. A building without a charging station has no charging session to show, and a device that publishes no interface reports nothing, whatever its brand. What we connect today, with the real status of each integration.
What changes, and for whom.
For the owner
Individual billing rests on measurements rather than estimates, which makes disputes verifiable. And the building meets individual billing standards without heavy works.
For the resident
Their door, their daily and monthly consumption, their documents and their requests in a single app. They see what they use during the year, not only on a statement received twelve months later.
How it is actually installed.
In an existing building
This is the most common case, and radio is what makes it possible. A LoRaWAN antenna is fitted once for the whole building, the heat and water meters communicate wirelessly, and there is neither an intercom riser to conduit nor a wired metering bus to pull.
Meters are still supplied and fitted by the heating and plumbing trades, as on any site. What changes is commissioning: it usually calls for a specialist firm, whereas over radio the electrician does it himself.
In a new building
The low-voltage package gets simpler: fewer loaded conduits, fewer penetrations, less coordination on the drawings. The door station runs over the network, the meters over radio.
The planner has nothing special to allow for beyond the usual builder's openings, and commissioning happens with the rest of the electrical package.
On renovations, the active equipment and its installation work are at our expense from eight units per stairwell. The threshold is counted per stairwell and not per building: a building of sixteen units with two stairwells needs two sets of equipment. On new builds, the equipment belongs to the electrical works package: we specify the references, the electrician orders them and installs them along with the cabling, the power supplies and the connections.
