The key to efficient building operations

Your data holds the key to a wide range of opportunities for building operations and maintenance:

• Automate parts of operations

• Detect inefficient usage patterns

• Early detection of  issues and errors

• Reduce downtime and operational disruptions

High-resolution energy data: A facility manager's best friend

Energy data is far more than just an overview of consumption. With the right level of detail, it serves as the building’s pulse, providing real-time insights into system performance.

With sufficient sub-metering and resolution, you can create a digital twin of your building’s energy systems.

🔎 Learn how a building saved €18,000 annually by identifying a hidden system error.

This type of data-driven insight allows facility managers to work smarter and prioritize their time more effectively. Instead of constantly putting out fires, you can take control and stay ahead of potential issues. It also enables on-demand maintenance, replacing fixed service routines with condition-based servicing.

As a data provider, we tailor both the number of data points and resolution to match your specific needs. You can drill down to component-level data with real-time resolution, but for many, an overview of key drivers – such as ventilation and heating – is a great starting point. Keep in mind that data resolution may be limited by the Energy Management System (EMS) you use.

AI needs data

Artificial intelligence is said to revolutionize building operations. AI without accurate data, however, will do more harm than good.

The more data you have, the more precise AI becomes – but data quality has long been overlooked in the real estate industry. Many businesses either lack sufficient data access or have no control of the quality of their data.

What happens if you automate your systems based on the wrong data? In addition to poor indoor climate and dissatisfied tenants, you risk costly operational failures.

That's why we cannot stress this enough: Start by gaining control over your data.

The importance of quality control

While older buildings often struggle with incomplete or missing system overviews, many new buildings face the opposite challenge – an overload of sensors with little control. The more sensors and systems a building has, the greater the risk of errors – and when it comes to energy data, errors are more the norm than the exception.

Before optimizing based on data, you must first ensure its accuracy.

At Å Insite, we are constantly developing new methods to detect and correct errors. Many issues can be avoided with proper installation and configuration, but new errors will always emerge—making continuous monitoring essential.

We collect and deliver your data through an API, ready to be integrated across different systems and software solutions. The aim is to give you full control of your own data and a flexible resolution to fit your needs.
