Smart buildings and facilities data
Buildings generate rich operational data, and using it well cuts energy, improves comfort and supports ESG. This guide covers smart-building and facilities data and how to source it.
Available across the EU. DataSupplier sources and delivers this data in all 27 European Union countries — including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland — and across the EEA, in the format and cadence you need.
Why building data matters now
Buildings are major energy users and ESG targets, and hybrid work has made space efficiency a priority. Operational data, occupancy, energy, environment, turns buildings into managed, optimisable assets.
The building data landscape
- Occupancy: presence and utilisation.
- Energy: consumption and sub-metering.
- BMS telemetry: HVAC and systems data.
- Indoor environment: air quality, temperature, comfort.
Common use cases
Energy and emissions reduction, space and portfolio optimisation, comfort and wellbeing, and ESG and energy-performance reporting.
Sourcing considerations
Building systems use varied protocols, so harmonisation is central, and the EU Data Act affects access to connected-system data. Occupancy data can be personal, requiring aggregation. Device metadata underpins quality.
Delivery and governance
Operations want near-real-time telemetry; reporting uses batches. Where occupancy identifies individuals, the GDPR applies and aggregation is required.
In a managed model
A managed partner can harmonise building telemetry and deliver occupancy, energy and environment data in your format.
Harmonise varied protocols
Buildings are major energy users and ESG targets, and the data, occupancy, energy, BMS telemetry, indoor environment, uses varied protocols, so harmonisation is central and the EU Data Act affects access to connected-system data. Device metadata underpins quality.
Aggregation and cadence
Occupancy data can be personal, so aggregate it; operations want near-real-time telemetry while reporting uses batches.
- Buildings are major energy users and ESG targets; data optimises them.
- Combine occupancy, energy, BMS and indoor-environment data.
- Harmonise varied building protocols; the EU Data Act affects access.
- Aggregate occupancy data where it could identify individuals.
