The Comfort and Climate module in BuildOT One is building climate control software that tracks temperature, humidity and HVAC setpoints room by room. It shows where spaces are too hot, too cold or overcooled, so teams can fix comfort complaints and cut wasted cooling, a major cost in UAE buildings.

| Typical users | Facility managers, HVAC engineers, energy managers and building operators |
What Comfort and Climate does
- Monitors thermal comfort. Track temperature, humidity and comfort indices across zones and buildings.
- Shows zone detail. See conditions in individual rooms, areas and HVAC zones.
- Compares setpoints with reality. Spot spaces that miss their setpoint or run far below it.
- Detects overcooling and overheating. Find waste and discomfort caused by poor HVAC operation. Cooling is about 70% of peak load in Gulf buildings (PwC Strategy&).
- Scores comfort. A comfort index combines temperature, humidity and system behaviour into one score per zone.
- Raises alerts. Flag zones outside your comfort thresholds.
Building climate control features
- Comfort overview dashboard with alerts
- Building and floor breakdowns
- Zone-level trends and condition tracking
- Thermostat and HVAC unit detail with control states
- Zone performance comparison to find inconsistencies and room to optimise
- Building and floor comfort breakdowns that support occupant satisfaction
- ASHRAE and WELL guideline values available as reference thresholds
- Location hierarchy mapping from site to room
- Works with ThermoSense wireless thermostats
Who uses it
Facility teams use it to answer comfort complaints with data. Energy managers use it to reduce unnecessary cooling. At a private school in Dubai, ThermoSense thermostats with AirBMS and an NRF gateway contributed to a 10 to 15% energy saving.
Works with
- AirBMS for HVAC equipment monitoring
- Air Quality and Wellbeing for CO2 and air quality
- Automation Hub for schedules and setback rules
- Climate control products, such as the ThermoSense Push Button thermostat, and gateways

Frequently asked questions
What is ThermoSense?
ThermoSense is the MachineSens wireless thermostat range that feeds room temperature and control data into BuildOT One.
Can it find overcooled rooms?
Yes. It compares actual temperature with setpoints and flags zones that run colder or hotter than they should.
Does it work without changing my HVAC?
Yes. It reads from thermostats, sensors and existing HVAC systems, so no full replacement is needed.
Does it support WELL or ASHRAE reporting?
It supports data collection for WELL and offers ASHRAE guideline values as reference thresholds. Any WELL assessment is carried out separately by the assessor.
