In commercial buildings, temperature, humidity, and air quality are all important for people's health and productivity. High levels of CO2 inside commercial buildings can cause many health concerns, commonly known as SBS (Sick Building Syndrome). Increasingly sophisticated smart buildings are being developed by nations around the world to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and generally make the environment healthy for residents and business owners. Additionally, under the looming climate crisis, energy prices began soaring last year. The need for building energy usage optimization has never been this urgent.
The AI-driven system requires accurate and real-time environmental data for analysts to provide alerts and recommendations to the building operators when sensors show that pre-determined thresholds have been exceeded, or to optimize the building's operation to save money. The existing sensor system functioned poorly with critical problems:
Poor Signal
The original solution was based on a techonology with limited signal coverage, up to 60% of sensors onsite were down at any moment.
Excess Maintenance
The original solution was based on a techonology with limited signal coverage, up to 60% of sensors onsite were down at any moment.
Extra Expense
Each Temperature and CO2 sensor required a sim card that generated an extra $500 monthly for each floor.
Peak Power
Milesight's partner, Peak Power is a Canadian cleantech company at the forefront of the energy transition. They are pushing the envelope of what distributed energy resources can do in the built environment. They were one of the first companies to aggregate battery storage, grid interactive buildings, and bi-directional electric vehicles with a single decarbonization platform for partners to achieve net zero goals, cut operating expenses, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
Milesight sensors are installed on each floor to monitor building data, including indoor ambience temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, occupancy, etc.
Milesight UG67 LoRaWAN® gateways are installed approximately every 3-stories with PoE power input to provide wide signal coverage. With embedded network server and 4G module, UG67 LoRaWAN® gateway can forward data collected by the sensor by MQTT to Peak Power's platform—Peak Insight via cellular network.
