BuildTrack Controller for Building Monitoring & Control
BuildTrack is an integrated solution designed to enable monitoring, controlling and management of buildings throughout their lifecycle. The BuildTrack solution consists of two components, the BuildTrack Software Platform and the BuildTrack Controller that can work either independently or synergistically to deliver the most efficient and economic operations for a space, apartment or building.
Building Automation is one of the key technologies that can help improve the performance of the building and the experience of its tenants/residents through its lifecycle by-
- Enhancing safety by monitoring fire, smoke, break-ins
- Improving indoor environment by controlling the amount of light or indoor air quality
- Improving security through motion detectors and break-in detection
- Improving comfort and convenience by allowing remote access to many devices in the buildin
- Keeping tenants and operators informed via e-mail and SMS on critical aspects of the building
in a timely manner
BuildTrack series of Controllers designed by Surmount do all of the above and more! BuildTrack caters to both residential and commercial Buildings enhancing the safety, security, comfort and convenience of tenants and owners. For the developer/manager these very same controllers also play the role of providing efficiencies in energy costs and monitoring the health of the assets in the building improving the economics of building operation and maintenance.
Some of the typical applications of BuildTrack controllers are mentioned below, but combinations of these or others are also feasible.
Lighting Automation
- Schedule driven automated switching
- Event based automated actuation
- Remote, GSM/Internet driven switching
HVAC Automation
- Automatically controls air conditioning or exhaust fan units based on temperature & air quality
- Minimizes energy consumption and wastage while still maintaining occupant comfort (Detection of motion or doors being left open in air conditioned spaces)
Safety Management
- Enables various safety sensing devices (Smoke, fire, gas, CO2/CO detectors)
- Monitors the safety devices centrally and communicates their status to various stakeholders as pre-programmed
- Smart information channeling in emergency (Alerts generated through GSM/Internet)
- Minimizes injury and loss of life and property
Security Management
- Enables various security sensing devices (sensors, motion detectors) and connects them into a central monitoring network to communicate vital status to their stakeholders
Energy Monitoring
- Measures the actual energy performance to the desired level of detail
- Allows to establish an informal sub-metering process to bill tenants for their utility consumption
- Can store this data and provide access to energy consumption and performance reports
Asset Control & Asset Health Monitoring
- Remote access through internet/LAN/GSM networks to equipment (Pumps, motors, solar panels, heaters, chillers)
- Equipment failure and event based alerts
- Equipment running logs and history
- Schedule driven automated operations
- Monitoring of the parameters that are indicative of asset health (Temperature, vibration)
