The Intelligent
Building Evolution
Our definition of an "Intelligent Building" is that where one system is able to make decisions based on information shared by another system. In effect, one system can influence another system in an intelligent manner.
With this evolution, the need for an Intelligent Building Network Manager has developed. TekNecks has a 20+ year track record designing and managing Intelligent Building Networks.
01
Operational Systems
Operational Systems are those that allow a commercial property to deliver its core purpose to one, or more, an end user groups. These can include owners, tenants, and/or retail customers. Common operational systems include Building Automation, Video Surveillance, Card Access, Emergency Communication and Lighting Control Systems.
02
Energy Management
Commercial properties often deploy systems to help manage and control energy costs. These can include heating and cooling control, solar array management, lighting control and scheduling, window shading to name a few. These systems often work in conjunction with each other to minimize the overall footprint of a property on the environment. Real time communication is often a critical part of this process.
03
Physical Security
The security of the physical property, and the end users within it, necessitate systems such as surveillance cameras, electrified door locks and card readers, emergency communication intercoms. In many cases, these systems communicate back to a central monitor station, either onsite, or at a shared facility.
