Smart buildings · one or many
Identify and correct performance drift across your buildings, every day.
Heating running at weekends, an air handling unit left in manual mode, a sensor that has not reported for several weeks: such drift does not appear on an annual bill, yet it weighs on costs throughout the year. Across a portfolio, it is difficult to locate.
IO-Sphere makes such drift visible as soon as it occurs and provides the means to remedy it.
On one building
Results from the very first building.
Reduce consumption without major works
- Consumption normalised by heating degree-days, so you compare like with like
- Heating and cooling switched off or turned down outside opening hours
- Eco mode applied automatically when spaces are empty
- Savings measured in the platform, not estimated
Controlled comfort for occupants
- CO₂, temperature and humidity tracked room by room
- An alert as soon as a setpoint drifts, before occupants raise a complaint
- Quantified evidence that each request has been handled
Faults detected early
- Devices that have stopped communicating, flagged
- Sensor batteries reaching the end of their life
- Pump faults and tripped circuit breakers
- The alert sent to the people concerned, following the on-call rota
Across several buildings
Compare and manage your entire portfolio.
Know where to act first
- The same indicators everywhere
- Buildings ranked, from the most efficient to the most energy-hungry
- Drifts detected by energy type, with what they actually cost
- Budgets pointed where the gain will be most significant
One way of operating
- Schedules, alarms and thresholds proven on one site, applied to the others
- Every alarm in the portfolio in one queue, ranked by severity
- A new building connected without starting from a blank page
- Rights per site, building or system: everyone sees only their own scope
Evidence-based reporting
- Energy-reduction targets tracked per building: reference year, target, projection
- Consumption, emissions and actions consolidated across the portfolio
- Traceable data, usable for non-financial reporting
- CSV export and the points table into Excel
Regulation
BACS decree and tertiary decree: the required monitoring functions.
IO-Sphere provides the monitoring functions both French regulations require. We check with you what each building has to cover.
BACS decree
A building automation and control system is mandatory in French commercial buildings whose heating or cooling exceeds 290 kW, and 70 kW from 2030.
- Continuous monitoring, per zone, at an hourly time step
- Data kept beyond the 5 years required
- Detection of consumption drift and alerts to the operator
- Manual shutdown and autonomous control of devices
- Open protocols, whatever the device brand
Tertiary decree
French commercial buildings over 1,000 m² must cut their consumption by 40% by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050, and report it every year on OPERAT.
- Consumption in kWh/m², per building and per use
- Weather correction using heating degree-days
- Meters split between common areas and occupants
- Reference year, annual target and year-end projection
- Consumption export to CSV
Tertiary decree indicators are part of the EMS module.
Use cases
Use cases for buildings.
Compare energy performance across sites
The same indicators for every site, corrected for weather: drift is identified and investment prioritised, without relying on annual bills.
Modules: EMS · Multi-site
Run heating, cooling, lighting, solar and air quality together
Systems fitted by different contractors, each tuned on its own. Brought together, they follow the same occupancy and the same hours, and solar output is used where it is needed.
Modules: EMS · SCADA
Run several sites as one
Schedules, thresholds and alarms approved on one site, rolled out to the others. Every alarm in one queue, and permissions that keep each person to their own scope.
Modules: Multi-site · CMMS
Locate an alarm in the digital twin
An alarm is no longer a line in a list: it shows up where it happens, in the 3D model or on the floor plan, with the device concerned and its history.
Modules: 3D & 2D · Diagnostics
Reuse the controllers and building automation already installed
Controllers, regulators and supervision systems already installed stay in place. IO-Sphere reads them through their own protocols, with no rewiring, and adds what was missing: history, alarms, comparison.
