Remote Monitoring
BB101 states that ventilation systems must allow the user to monitor carbon dioxide levels within the classroom, and have the ability to make changes to the ventilation system based on occupant demand. This optimisation of ventilation is critically important for building services to remain fit for purpose as usage patterns evolve and weather patterns change.
Connected to the cloud
Once installed, Ventive systems connect automatically to the cloud through a mobile GSM network. Data on air quality, temperatures and operation modes is continuously sent, allowing us to quickly build a usage profile for the building and help you optimise ventilation performance for the best results.
Sensors inside the building allow the systems to respond to environmental triggers such as temperature variations, CO2 levels and relative humidity – this behaviour ensures that each Ventive unit adapts to the requirements of the space it is serving.
Access to performance data is becoming more necessary as we become more aware of the impact our buildings have on our environment. Given Ventive sits at the heart of the building, we can help in a number of ways when it comes to data services:
Remote commissioning
Digital connection means that the system can be monitored and checked remotely, enabling commissioning of the installation to happen immediately – no need to wait around on site. Quick confirmation allows contractors to get on with the task at hand, safe in the knowledge the installation job has been done correctly.
Performance monitoring
Real-time performance monitoring allows us to see if the building is running in the way it was designed. Over time a profile can be built up for each unit, which can then be analysed for trends. With this data we can provide feedback to architects and consultants on how building services are operating in comparison to the modelling data.
Proactive maintenance
A stitch in time saves nine. Connection to the cloud enables you to be alerted whenever data in the system is out of place, allowing facilities managers to fix something before it becomes a big problem. This approach of constant monitoring saves time, money, and removes the risk of a breakdown affecting how the building runs.
Facilities management
Facilities managers wishing to have full oversight of both performance and environmental data can use a Cloud login to access and amend system parameters to get the most out of each unit.
