Building Intelligence. Or why modern buildings need more than seven senses.

Building intelligence starts by picking up sensory signals like a human being. Our highly developed sensors collect precise data that continuously controls, optimises and improves the building and its functions. Through constant learning, the building acquires a sound knowledge of its environment and itself. It opens up completely new possibilities for its users by taking efficiency, health, safety and comfort to a new level.

Nine spatial parameters for building intelligence

The graphic shows a table-like arrangement with nine fields in which various parameters for building intelligence are displayed. Each field contains a small icon graphic and a label. The parameters displayed are:

Building Intelligence Sensors in use

Good service remains unseen.
But never unnoticed.

Sensor-based hotel automation not only means lower costs, but also offers added value for guests. A quick glance at the housekeeping app is all it takes for the cleaning staff to know immediately whether a room is currently available and can be cleaned. No annoying knocking on the room door. No annoyed guests.

For hotel solutions

On your marks, get set, go!
Smart, of course.

New ways of working require new office concepts. Office workplaces are often unoccupied due to business trips or home office working. With the help of the Smart Workspace FlexDesk solution and STEINEL sensors, employees can use an app to search for a specific, free office workplace while on the move. This ensures optimal utilisation of office space and saves costs.

Intelligent sensors save energy –
for students and teachers, too.

Intelligent lighting control using presence detectors can save a lot of money – and create an optimal learning environment. Because not only good air, but also good lighting conditions are crucial for healthy learning. For example, constant light control always dims the light level as needed for optimal learning.

About education solutions

The STEINEL HPD sensor for detecting presence is mounted in the corner of an office.

Human presence detection

What? How much? Where? When? Enhanced intelligence thanks to optical multi-sensors.

Presence detectors that not only detect people who are present, but also count them, regardless of whether they are moving or not. The heart of this technology is an innovative, highly sensitive optical system combined with a complex mathematical algorithm. In addition, the sensors have integrated temperature and humidity measurement, thus opening up completely new possibilities. Lighting, heating and air conditioning, measured by the number of people present in a room, can finally be controlled according to demand.

Connection between hardware and software

Capstone

With the new Capstone® software solution, it is now possible for the first time to recognise and visualise all IP and Bluetooth sensors and lights in the network. This provides a complete overview of the building status: temperature, humidity, CO2, VOC, noise, smoke, presence, brightness and number of people. Based on the analysed data, optimisation suggestions for better space utilisation can then be created.
