Since its inception in 2019, Airconnect has developed a suite of complimentary leading-edge HVAC maintenance and building energy optimisation technologies in the cloud, designed specifically for decarbonising the mid-tier building sector. On the operational side, Airconnect has integration teams to facilitate the tech deployment, enabling 24/7 asset performance monitoring and reporting, automated fault detection and maintenance workflows, and smart energy management & control.
By incorporating the VBIS asset classification system and method for locating and linking data, information across disparate systems is collected at the required level of detail to provide Airconnect’s customers with a useful and consistent way to search, discover, display, compare, and report on their assets, compliance status, and maintenance history.
Building Owners & Managers get the information they need, in an easy to digest, federated open-source format for ongoing use, ultimately, allowing them to have total visibility on equipment performance, down time, maintenance activities and lifecycle cost analyses. This helps and to better understand and manage operational costs and support the longevity and reliability of their equipment to maximise performance and operational lifetime.
Airconnect captures asset operational data in real time using patented edge gateway technology. This operational data combined with rich asset information and digital twin models provide a golden thread of information that is a single source of truth supporting Airconnect’s leading-edge cloud software services tailored to the specific operational needs of each of Airconnect’s customers.
If you are you a key stakeholder for one of the 80% of Australian commercial buildings that make up the mid-tier building sector, our solutions can relieve your pain points to simplify your transition to net zero. We understand the ever increasing need to manage OPEX efficiently, get the best out of your HVAC equipment and on-site energy generation systems, and meet your Environmental, Social, and Governance obligations.”
