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

 

Headquartered in Switzerland, Belimo is the global market leader in the development, production and sales of field devices for controlling heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Sensors, control valves and damper actuators make up the company’s core business. 

 

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

 

"We are excited to partner with market leader Belimo to significantly impact how the real estate industry transforms their property operations with data," remarked its CEO & Founder Prabhu Ramachandran.

 

"For customers who are shifting to an agile, data-driven operating model, Facilio and Belimo will deliver a single connected operational environment, helping them gain complete real-time visibility and control of their space and equipment," he stated. 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

"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," he noted.

 

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, explained Cataldi. 

 

"With system integration into the building management systems, 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," he added. 

 

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