APPLICATIONS

Smart building

Retrofit-friendly sensing for HVAC, air quality, occupancy and energy — no cabling through walls.

← All applications

A typical office or campus retrofit runs from a few hundred to several thousand nodes — HVAC, air quality, occupancy and energy sensors mixed on one mesh, floor by floor. Because nodes relay through concrete slabs and riser shafts, basements and plant rooms get the same coverage as open-plan floors, with no new cable run anywhere in the building. Most sites are fully commissioned in days, not the weeks a wired retrofit would take.

Smart building HVAC and sensor deployment

THE CHALLENGE

Retrofitting wired sensors into existing buildings is disruptive and expensive; coverage gaps appear in basements and cores.

THE MESH SOLUTION

Battery-powered nodes mesh through concrete floors and shafts; add a sensor anywhere and it joins the network by itself.

TYPICAL DEVICES

  • Temperature / humidity sensors
  • CO₂ & air-quality sensors
  • Occupancy & desk sensors
  • Thermostat actuators
