Facilio And Belimo Partner To Advance IoT-Driven Connected Building Environments

Facilio, a globally renowned AI-driven property operations & maintenance (O&M) platform, and Belimo (BELIMO Holding AG), a global market leader in HVAC field devices, have announced a strategic collaboration to enhance the buildings industry, by delivering connected and sustainable environments.

The joint solution unlocks real-time building operational data, improves asset life cycles, and drives new levels of efficiency.

Transforming IoT data into operational insights

Addressing the growing need for efficient building operations, Facilio and Belimo will help real estate owners, operators, and service providers turn IoT (Internet of Things) data into operational insights and workflows, in order to optimize building performance and comfort in real time.

Facilio and Belimo will deliver a single connected operational environment"

Prabhu Ramachandran, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder of Facilio, said “For customers who are shifting to an agile, data-driven operating model, Facilio and Belimo will deliver a single connected operational environment, thereby helping them gain complete real-time visibility and control of their space and equipment."

He adds, “We are excited to partner with market leader - Belimo to significantly impact how the real estate industry transforms their property operations with data.”

Facilio’s O&M platform harnesses IoT

Facilio’s O&M platform harnesses IoT and aggregates hard-to-access building data, in order to optimize HVAC systems and building performance in real time, thereby implementing effective sustainability measures, and elevating the tenant experience – all from one place.

Facilio works with real estate owners and operators to provide real-time building performance, so as to help them take action, when needed versus traditional reactive changes.

Facilio – Belimo partnership

Salvatore Cataldi, the Global Strategic Building IoT Expert at Belimo, said “The real estate industry is engaged in creating sustainable buildings and contributing to ESG goals through digital transformation and industry collaborations.”

He adds, “The synergy between Belimo’s digital ecosystem and Facilio’s O&M platform leverage available data to unlock the potential of connected buildings and address the new challenges.”

Digital identity for open interaction in an ecosystem

Belimo IoT device has an additional digital identity that offers an open interaction in a digital ecosystem

Belimo sensors, control valves, and damper actuators for HVAC applications meet the ever-evolving needs of connected buildings and provide easy access to the devices’ valuable data.

Except for system integration into the building management systems (BMS), every Belimo IoT device has an additional digital identity that offers an open interaction in a digital ecosystem. This digital identity provides a dynamic platform for implementing new applications with different partners, at every integration level.

With the contributions of Belimo’s IoT ecosystem, Facilio’s cloud-based operations & maintenance (O&M) solution provides:

• Remote Asset Performance & Optimization: Remote monitoring and control of multiple building assets, through a ‘single-pane-of-glass’ interface. With automated Machine Learning - ML-driven Fault Detection & Diagnostics to optimize HVAC performance and energy efficiency in real time.
• Sustainability Management: Provide real-time energy consumption analytics, measurement and verification, performance benchmarking, digitized electronic content management, reporting, and much more.
• Automated Maintenance: Customizable and automated workflows, preventive condition-based and predictive maintenance.
• Seamless Tenant & Occupant Experiences: An app to help tenants, owners, and facility managers work remotely and access data, initiate tenant service requests, and visitor and vendor management.

With a renewed focus on operational excellence and an emphasis on delivering a safe, sustainable, and efficient built environment, the collaboration between Belimo and Facilio’s O&M solution enhances the real estate industry, in order to innovate faster and meet today’s fast-changing market needs.
