What is a Smart Building?
The term Smart Building can be applied to any structure that used automation to control the various operating systems within the building, such as heating, lighting and security. By using sensors, microchips, CCTV cameras and other system components, the building can collect key pieces of data to help determine automated decisions, as well as provide insights into building performance such as carbon footprint and energy usage. All this data can then be used to improve building efficiencies and productivity.

What are the benefits of smart buildings?
- Improved control of systems
- Automated processes
- Remote diagnostics & fixing
- Flexible & scalable systems
- More efficient energy usage
- Remotely accessible system
- Centralised controls
- Automatic fault detection

Technology we use for Smart Buildings
We use the latest technology within all our smart building installations and choose tailored equipment based on your requirements. At BusinessWatch, we are flexible and can offer various wireless and cloud-based systems for both building security and fire safety, all of which will work alongside your current systems.
For example, activated motion sensors can activate CCTV cameras, which in turn can use the access control system to block off an intruder’s potential exits. In addition, access control can be used to control lighting and heating in a particular area, meaning that they only turn on when someone has entered the specified space.
Partnered with some of the best smart technology suppliers in the industry, we are proud to be able to tailor high-quality products to deliver the very best and most effective smart building solutions to our clients.
