Capstone® - the gateway to ecologically and economically optimised buildings

Technological progress and the increasing availability of sensors and IoT devices are opening up new opportunities to make buildings smarter and more efficient. By recording and analysing environmental data such as temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, VOCs, smoke, noise and presence detection, buildings can not only become more energy efficient, but also more comfortable and safer. The new Capstone® software solution makes it possible for the first time to detect and visualise all IP and Bluetooth sensors and lights in the network, providing a complete overview of the building status. This data can be used to create optimisation proposals for better use of space.

How Capstone® works

Capstone_02_Teaser_01_675x380px.jpg

IP sensors and Bluetooth Mesh as the basis

With the introduction of the IP interface for our sensors and the possibilities of wireless Bluetooth mesh technology, we have created the basis for both building on existing building infrastructures and creating new ones quickly and cost-effectively. All data collected is transferred to the Capstone server for further processing.

Individual visualisation

The Capstone software provides a range of visualisation options. This means you can decide whether the data obtained at room, floor or building level is best presented for your decisions. It is also important to be able to show or hide certain data for a quick overview that meets your requirements.

Possibilities with Capstone®

Optimisation of space utilisation

With the help of the Capstone software, the average occupancy rate of all rooms can be accurately displayed. Targeted room optimisation offers the opportunity to use office space more efficiently and save costs at the same time. Resources that become available can be repurposed, creating completely new possibilities.

More efficient use of energy

In many rooms, there are often many people at the same time, which leads to an excessively high room temperature. This not only impairs comfort but also leads to inefficient energy use. By making suggestions to the HVAC systems, we can improve comfort and significantly reduce energy costs and the ecological footprint.

Improving lighting control

The Capstone software can be used to visualise both room occupancy and light switching in real time. Analyses show that the lights in many rooms are frequently and unnecessarily switched on outside working hours. Adjustments to sensor settings and the minimisation of run-on times can reduce energy consumption and save costs.

Fine-tuning the ventilation

In some rooms, the air quality is particularly poor, which leads to tiredness and a reduced ability to concentrate. The targeted control of ventilation systems not only improves the well-being of employees, but also increases their productivity. Good air quality is essential for a healthy and performance-enhancing working atmosphere.

Prevention of mould growth

High humidity can cause damage to the building fabric and health problems for residents. With the help of the Capstone software, problematic areas can be identified at an early stage and targeted measures such as regular ventilation and adjusted heating can be taken to ensure optimal indoor air quality and effectively prevent mould growth.

Analysing the noise level

Reducing noise pollution is crucial for a good working and learning environment. With the support of Capstone software, noisy areas can be identified and targeted measures such as sound insulation and room reorganisation can be taken to reduce noise levels and significantly improve the acoustic quality in the rooms.

Dashboard

The Steinel Capstone Dashboard enables centralised monitoring and control of building systems in real time. Users can analyse data, quickly identify faults and take measures to make operations efficient and sustainable. Customisable widgets and clear visualisations facilitate operation and optimisation. An integrated alarm system provides information in the event of faults to enable immediate action to be taken, helping to make building management more efficient and sustainable.

Floor plans

The representation of the floor plans in the software enables a clear visualisation of the buildings. Users can see rooms and levels in detail and can localise sensors and devices directly on the floor plan. This visual categorisation makes it easier to manage systems, as all relevant data is visible in its spatial context. This allows problems to be pinpointed and adjustments to be made precisely, enabling more efficient management of the building infrastructure.

Device overview

The device overview in the Steinel Capstone software provides a centralised list of all connected devices and sensors. Users can monitor the status of each device in real time, including operating data, statuses and any error messages. This overview simplifies management, as each device can be quickly located and controlled if necessary. It also enables simple maintenance, as problems can be recognised and rectified immediately.

Room overview

The room overview provided by Steinel Capstone software offers a clear display of all important parameters of a room, such as lighting, temperature and ventilation. Users can see the status of the systems at a glance and make adjustments as needed. This makes it possible to improve settings to optimise energy consumption and increase comfort. This centralised control per room efficiently reduces operating costs and improves user comfort.

Alarm function

The alarm function provides immediate notification in the event of problems or critical conditions in the building systems. Users are informed in real time about faults, such as device failures or deviations from defined limit values. These alarms enable rapid intervention before major damage or downtime occurs. The function helps to proactively monitor the systems and increase operational safety by recognising and rectifying problems at an early stage.

Reports

The reporting function enables comprehensive evaluation of building data. Users can create and analyse reports on various systems, such as energy consumption, equipment utilisation or climate data. These reports provide detailed insights into building performance and efficiency and help identify optimisation potential. Regular reports enable analysis over longer periods of time, facilitate maintenance planning and support informed decisions for continuous operational optimisation.
