Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV)
COβ + occupancy sensors modulate airflow via VFD and motorised dampers over BACnet β ventilating only what the space actually needs. Fan energy follows occupancy. Live IAQ alerts support manual patrol rounds.
VFD on AHUs, Pumps & Fans
Variable frequency drives are among the strongest energy measures in mechanical rooms. For fans and pumps, power falls with the cube of speed, so at 80% speed the ideal power is about 51% of full load. BMS integration adds predictive failure alerts on motor current and run hours.
LoRaWAN Smart Metering (Water + BTU)
10-year battery pulse readers transmit sub-meter data wirelessly. BACnet gateway integration feeds live dashboards for tenant billing, leak alerts, and OPEX benchmarking. No cabling required.
Multi-Parameter IAQ Sensors
COβ, PM2.5, TVOC, and RH in one sensor. BACnet/Modbus integration feeds cloud-based alert platforms. Critical for mosques and prayer halls with unpredictable peak occupancy.
AI Predictive Maintenance in BMS
Machine learning on BMS trend data predicts equipment failure before it occurs β vibration signatures, runtime hours, temperature deltas. Layered onto existing controllers via BACnet, no system replacement needed.
Wireless Water Leak Detection
LoRaWAN point sensors and linear rope sensors detect moisture instantly β triggering SMS + BMS alarms and automatic valve shut-off where actuators are installed. Every event timestamped and logged.
Car Park Jet Fan + CO Monitoring
CO sensor-driven fan control with fire alarm integration and automatic purge logic. Fans run only when CO levels require it β at proportional VFD speed. Purge cycles logged for authority inspection.
Zone Controllers + Motorised Dampers
Occupancy-based and schedule-driven motorised dampers serve conditioned air only where and when needed. Meeting rooms, hotel corridors, and prayer halls are served only during occupancy.
Demand Response / Load Shedding
DEWA-compatible signals received at BMS level automatically shed non-critical loads during peak grid events β lighting in empty zones, AHU setpoint relaxation, chiller staging β without disrupting occupants.
Smart Washroom Sensors
Occupancy counters, dispenser level sensors, and odour/NHβ sensors feed a centralised dashboard alerting cleaning teams only when and where needed. Phantom flush monitoring for water savings.
