Integration consultancy

Independent integration expertise for complex buildings.

We work on large projects, ensuring that building systems are integrated properly, handed over with their design proven, and ready to feed a digital twin. Whichever BMS is on site, and every system that works alongside it.

Discuss a project

Digital construction teams

One feed to map onto the model, structured the same way on every project.

Project teams

Fewer return visits, a quicker handover and a record of how the building really ran.

Clients and FM providers

A twin with live data on day one, and evidence the building performs as designed.

The challenge

Clients now ask for a digital twin. Most buildings hand over without the data to feed one.

The twin is promised at bid stage. At handover, the data sits in a BMS built to run plant, in a format one vendor reads, on a network nobody wants opened.

  1. 01

    Data stuck in the head-end

    A supervisor keeps trend logs for the points someone set up, sized for fault-finding. Getting years of clean, complete history is usually a manual job, site by site.

  2. 02

    Every site is different

    Trend on one job, Niagara on the next, EcoStruxure on the third, and lighting control outside the BMS altogether. A twin needs one feed, not four integrations.

  3. 03

    No appetite for open ports

    Client IT and cyber teams resist inbound VPNs and port-forwards onto building networks, and they are right to. Data collection has to work without them.

  4. 04

    Handover is where it breaks

    CIBSE TM39 reports fewer than 2% of buildings had coherent submetering at handover. The performance gap shows up after the project team has left site.

What is driving the demand

  • Government Soft Landings
  • ISO 19650-3, the operational phase
  • NABERS UK
  • Part L 2021 metering
  • CIBSE TM39
  • Post-occupancy evaluation
  • Net zero reporting

Services

What we do on a project.

Advice and delivery, from specification through commissioning to the years of operation after handover.

BMS

BMS integration

Different BMS vendors, sites and building generations brought together over BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA and KNX, without replacing what already works.

Digital twin

Digital twin data

The data a digital twin needs, already there at handover: every point organised by site and building, its history kept, and available in open formats.

Smart building

Systems beyond the BMS

Lighting control, metering and the other systems a BMS doesn't see, brought into the same feed as the plant.

Energy

Metering and TM39

Metering aligned with CIBSE TM39 and Part L: meter schedules that match what is installed, and checks that the submeters add up to the main meters.

Security

Secure connectivity

Connections that need no inbound ports, static addresses or VPNs, designed to pass the client's IT and cyber review.

Smaller sites

Control without a full BMS

Where a site doesn't warrant a full BMS, a Rio gateway can provide the control logic, graphics and alarms as well as collecting the data.

Across the project

Useful from first fix to the end of the defects period, and long after.

Fit Rio when the BMS goes live and the history starts then, not at handover.

  1. Stage 1

    Commissioning

    Every point trended from the day the BMS goes live. Sequences, setpoints and meter wiring proven with data, not screenshots.

  2. Stage 2

    Handover

    Hand over a history, not an empty dashboard, with TM39 meter schedules and verification by calculation.

  3. Stage 3

    Defects period

    Spot short-cycling plant, meters that do not add up and failing sensors in the data, and go back to site knowing what needs fixing.

  4. Stage 4

    Operation

    The same feed carries on into the client's twin, their FM provider and their energy manager, each seeing only what is shared with them.
