How IoT Sensors Are Transforming Block Management and Maintenance

Performance, Compliance, and Safety

IoT Sensors and the Future of Block Management

IoT sensors give every building key smart building features. Block managers are tasked with many different responsibilities. Live building monitoring sensors create scope for simplified systems and precision processes. With remote access to key metrics and alerts for unusual or undesirable activity, a range of benefits are unlocked.

At Voltix Services, our team of professionals monitor building data for powerful reactive maintenance capabilities and proactive maintenance scheduling. This ensures optimal maintenance and performance of equipment. It also streamlines emergency callouts and guides automation (we know before you know). Importantly, it ensures safety, comfort, and wellbeing of residents.

The following are some key ways that these sensors and live building monitoring are digitally transforming block management.

 

Precision Maintenance

Live building monitoring moves away from traditional maintenance approaches. Rather than using a calendar-based approach to maintenance, it paves the way for condition-based maintenance. This reduces unnecessary callouts and the risk of reactive maintenance interventions. It also has the potential to increase the lifespan of equipment and keep it running efficiently.

 

Powerful Interventions

By receiving data and alerts around things like water intrusion and leak detection, pipeline and HVAC pressure, temperature, humidity, and air quality, there is scope for expedited interventions when things go wrong. This can prevent damage, mitigate expensive repairs and downtime, and ensure optimised tenant experiences.

This also improves the predictive capabilities of maintenance teams, which allows for better budgeting, scheduling, and managed costs.

 

Simplified Compliance

Remote monitoring creates a smart approach to health, safety, and compliance. Comprehensive data logs make for easy record-keeping and reporting. For the purposes of ESG, smart infrastructure helps to reduce consumption, monitor ROI, benchmark, and report on environmental efficiencies.

 

Improved Efficiencies

Live building monitoring insights help block managers to boost building efficiencies. This is done by preventing waste and providing information to guide reduced consumption. For example, temperature monitoring and occupancy monitoring allow heating and cooling automations to prevent waste and maintain comfortable environments. Water intrusion sensors and pipeline pressure meters allow for early leak detection and the extreme waste that comes with undetected leaks.

In the long term, the data insights collected by sensors, together with smart meter data, form a foundation for enhanced energy management. This data is essential for strategic decision-making around building energy. Adopting a smart approach on this front ensures flexibility for changing environmental regulations and maximised cost savings.

 

Secure Premises

Sensors and access control infrastructure have benefits that improve building security, guide automation, and reduce risk for tenants and block managers.

 

Premium Tenant Experience

The data collected through live building monitoring solutions impact the tenant experience in different ways. For block managers, these connected sensors allow for a more responsive building environment and pave the way for transparency and easy communication.

 

Cost Savings

The benefits of live building monitoring sensors cut costs in myriad ways. From reducing callouts and preventing reactive maintenance to cutting energy consumption and the need for manual interventions, there are many budgetary benefits to smart, simple building management systems.
