HOW WE CONNECT

Every building has
a path to live data.

We can connect to any building, no matter the setup. As we connect each source, we build up a digital twin of your building — giving you increasingly detailed insights over time.

CONNECTION METHODS AND CURRENT INTEGRATIONS

How we can connect any building

We always try to connect to the BMS first — it gives us the most complete view of your building in one connection. When that isn't possible, we connect each source separately.

BMS

We can connect to older and newer building management systems, including proprietary protocols. Depending on your setup, we connect via cloud through MQTT or API, or through the Next Sense Gateway — a physical device installed on-site that reads data directly from the BMS.

Supported vendors

More vendors added regularly. Don't see yours? We can connect it.

Energy Meters

For smart meters, we connect directly to the meter cloud via API. For analogue meters, we coordinate the installation of smart meters or clamp sensors on existing analogue meters.

Sensors

For occupancy, temperature, lights, humidity, and CO₂ sensors, we connect directly to the sensor vendor's cloud via API.

EMS

If you already have an Energy Management System, it might be easier to connect to it, instead of establishing a new connection with the BMS. We connect directly to the cloud via API.

No digital infrastructure yet?

We work with trusted hardware partners who can retrofit your building fast and at low cost — so you can start getting insight without waiting on a full infrastructure upgrade.

THE PROCESS

From first data to full
building intelligence.

Our dedicated implementation team runs the connection end to end. You don't need to coordinate vendors or manage integrations yourself.

01

Kick-off

We align on scope and timelines. You get access to the BIC, where you track connection progress.

02

Building Readiness

We check that your building is ready to connect, before implementation begins.

03

Document Upload

You upload the agreed documents directly in to the BIC: floor plans, meter data, and anything else we need to get started.

04

Historical Data

We process your existing energy data to give you first insights into building's performance before live data.

05

Live Connection

We connect your building in real time. You get notified as each source comes online, unlocking more granular insights with every connection.
