Commercial building connected across lighting, occupancy, HVAC and energy monitoring

FOUR PATHS TO BUILDING CONTROL

Explore the building control route that fits your project.

From lighting data and occupancy-ratio automation to energy monitoring and open system integration, explore four practical routes for connecting room-level information with building-wide control.

ONE CONNECTED BUILDING STRATEGY

Start with the control question—not a complete system replacement.

Every project begins from a different point. You may want to bring lighting information into an existing BMS, automate HVAC at room level, understand where energy and operating hours are being wasted, or choose the right gateway and supervisory integration route.

These four feature paths explain the role of each data layer and how it can contribute to a coordinated building-control strategy.

CONNECT Use the existing BMS workflow
AUTOMATE Respond to actual room demand
OPTIMISE Improve operation across the building

BUILDING CONTROL FEATURES

Explore four connected feature paths.

Each page focuses on one project question, with the detail needed to understand the data, control route and customer value.

LIGHTING TO BMS

Lighting Data to Building Automation

Turn the lighting layer into a practical source of room data.

Connected lighting already knows when a room is occupied, how daylight is changing and how supported devices are operating. Koolmesh makes selected data available to the BMS, without replacing the established supervisory workflow.

  • Occupancy, daylight, lighting status and supported energy data
  • BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and MQTT integration routes
  • Existing BMS remains the main supervisory layer

ROOM-LEVEL CONTROL

Occupancy-Ratio Room Automation

Let each room respond to how it is actually being used.

Presence and anonymous people-count data provide a clearer picture of room demand. Combined with temperature, humidity and CO₂ data, they can support project-defined lighting, HVAC and ventilation responses through the BMS.

  • True Occupancy and anonymous people-count information
  • Room demand linked with HVAC and FCU operation
  • CO₂, temperature and humidity for comfort and ventilation

ENERGY & OPERATIONS

Energy Monitoring & Optimisation

See where systems are running, wasting energy or need attention.

Place lighting and HVAC energy beside occupancy, schedules and supported equipment status. Facility teams gain the context needed to investigate avoidable operating hours, diagnose issues and verify the result of control changes.

  • Lighting and HVAC energy viewed with occupancy and schedules
  • Supported device status, alarms and maintenance information
  • Waste identification, diagnosis and improvement verification

GATEWAYS & INTEGRATION

Open Building Integration

Choose the route that connects field devices, gateways and supervisory platforms.

Connect lighting, sensors and room devices with established building systems through Bluetooth-to-BMS gateways, LoRaWAN or a FIN-based edge controller. Each route supports a different project starting point without requiring the whole building to follow one communication method.

  • Bluetooth-to-BMS integration through BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and MQTT
  • LoRaWAN route for retrofit projects and distributed wireless devices
  • FIN-based edge control for local integration, supervision and secure access
