Building Owners/End Users

The built environment is undergoing one of its most transformative and compelling periods in the last 25 years. In recent years, building owners have overcome many hurdles from reassuring occupants about building safety and health to meeting operational and energy efficiency challenges head on. With our customer-focused strategy, we continue to innovate, develop and launch new products to bring to market that empower customers to improve their business outcomes, meet regulatory and compliance requirements and mitigate risks inherent in today’s building integration.

The increasing requirements within commercial buildings’ data structure are more demanding than ever. Stakeholders are now deeply invested in “how” buidlings function including ways to reduce energy, improve operational efficiency, and increase occupant standards for health, comfort and safety. Adoption of smart building technology is at a pivotal point; drive by connectivity, data access/analytics, edge, Cloud, and the convergence of operational and workplace outcomes. There are several factors influencing the BAS industry that are creating this turning point.

With recent supply chain issues, cicular buildings/circular construction is enabling the closure of building material loops by reusing, repurposing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling versus the traditional:  create and consume mindset. Also the increasing need for flexible/staggered work environments and indoor air quality, the growth of connected devices and systems, looming cyber threats, and the global push for a net zero carbon footprint—all of which require buildings to be smarter and connected—are contributing factors.

According to the latest Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), the reality is that most buildings still need to make investments in controls:

  • 21% of buildings have direct digital controls (DDC)/HVAC controllers
  • 16% have a BAS
  • 5% have smart thermostats
  • 17% of buildings have occupancy sensors controlling lighting
  • 5% of buildings have a lighting control system
  • 1% of buildings have plug load controls

Energy efficiency and sustainability is playing an influential role across all businesses globally. Organizations are becoming more conscious of demonstrating and addressing various social and environmental concerns within their building’s infrastructure. Lynxspring knows that selecting the right building management and operating platform for your building(s) can be complex and overwhelming. It is always important and wise to consider your options.

Answering these questions can help you define which building platform is right for you: one that is flexible, open, adaptive, and beneficial for your operations and occupants.

When choosing a building management platform, there are 9 key questions to ask:

  1. Is it an “Open” Platform?
  2. Is it a Multi-Functional Platform?
  3. Does the Platform Allow for Integration and Compatibility?
  4. Is the Data Normalized, Tagged and Interoperable?
  5. Does a Vendor Ensure Cybersecurity of Your Building’s System?
  6. Does it Enable Edge-to-Cloud Computing?
  7. Does the Platform Use Your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
  8. Does Your Building Solution Provider Have Domain Expertise?
  9. How Long Has Your Vendor Been in the Industry?
