Today’s Intelligent Buildings integrate energy management, environmental controls, converged communications networks, data analytics, and digital applications to create a holistic view of the enterprise, enabling a flexible, healthy, comfortable, and secure building environment for owners and occupants. An Intelligent Building is not a singular system or solution, rather a well-planned building that leverages the power of Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors and the machine-learning functionality of artificial intelligence to create highly adaptive and efficient facilities.
From automated HVAC control and energy monitoring systems to sensor-based data analytics and user dashboards displaying real-time building KPI’s, Intelligent Buildings are able oversee the entire network of automated building systems, dramatically increasing functionality and efficiency. Facilities operate more economically and environmentally efficient, with maintenance becoming predictive and proactive, rather than costly and reactive.
Our team of engineering and technology experts are highly qualified to address all facets of today’s Intelligent Buildings through collaborative planning and the latest in property technology (PropTech). Drawing upon our multifaceted interdisciplinary experience, NV5 is uniquely positioned to plan and design visionary yet practical Intelligent Building programs and systems.
