1. Client
GreenGate Business Tower is a multi-tenant commercial tower in the UAE. Its facilities team wanted to manage energy and comfort proactively.
2. Challenge
- Limited energy visibility. The team received only monthly utility totals, so they could not tell which floors, equipment or operating hours wasted energy.
- No central monitoring. Energy, HVAC and indoor environment data sat in separate systems and manual spreadsheets.
3. Solution
- Wireless energy metering: smart meters on major distribution panels give real-time consumption and demand data.
- Centralized analytics: BuildOT One combines energy, HVAC and indoor environment data in dashboards, with alerts, trends and automated reports.
4. Deployment
Wireless devices avoided extensive cabling, so the tower stayed in full operation. Floors, meters and sensors can be added without replacing existing infrastructure.
5. What did wireless energy metering deliver?
- Consumption and demand are visible in real time, so after-hours operation and wasteful periods can be found.
- Automated alerts let the team respond to HVAC issues before tenants raise complaints.
- Energy, HVAC and comfort data sit in one place instead of separate files.
- The building moved from reactive, fragmented operations to a data-driven routine.
