Equipment fault detection across sites
Rules watch chiller delta-T, AHU fan status, pump run hours and temperature trends from the BMS. A failing unit alarms with the equipment, site and trend attached.
Facilities & Energy
Your buildings already know what is wrong. Nobody is asking them.
Energy, environment, occupancy and equipment condition across every site, so facilities teams work from exceptions, not a complaint queue.
- Built for
- Facilities, energy and portfolio managers
- Connects
- BMS, meters and environment sensors
- Deploys
- Sovereign cloud, private cloud or on-site
/ The shift /
What happens today, and what changes.
Flip between the operation as it runs now and the operation once the data is joined up.
- 01The first sign of a chiller problem is a complaint from the third floor.
- 02Energy arrives as a monthly bill, with no per-system number anyone can act on.
- 03Contractors are managed on trust, because response and completion times are hard to evidence.
/ How it works /
From signal to decision in four moves.
Each step runs on the shared IoT Cube foundation, so nothing here is a separate system to maintain.
- 1
Connect every building
Existing BMS, sub-meters and air-quality sensors are read across the portfolio, with wireless sensors where the BMS does not reach.
- 2
Model the portfolio
Points are mapped to site, floor, system and equipment, so energy and faults can be compared building against building.
- 3
Find what is wrong
Fault rules and consumption baselines spot failing equipment, out-of-hours loads and poor indoor conditions early.
- 4
Escalate to whoever fixes it
The responsible contractor gets a timed work order, escalation runs if the SLA slips, and closure is evidenced in the record.
/ What you get /
What facilities & energy gives you.
Energy anomalies by site and system
Sub-meter data is profiled by time of day and day type. Consumption above baseline, or loads running out of hours, flags per building and system.
Indoor environment and occupancy
Temperature, humidity, CO₂ and occupancy sensors are read per zone, so ventilation can be adjusted where occupancy demands it.
Timed escalation to contractors
Alarms open work orders against the responsible contractor with an SLA timer. Unacknowledged or overdue jobs escalate, and response times are recorded.
Portfolio benchmarking and sustainability
Consumption is normalised by floor area, occupancy and weather, so buildings compare fairly on measured data.
Water, power and gas together
All utility meters sit in the same site hierarchy, so a building’s full consumption is attributable in one view.
/ Use cases /
Where teams put it to work first.
Find failing HVAC equipment
Watch chiller delta-T, AHU status and pump run hours, and raise a contractor job before occupants complain.
Stop out-of-hours energy waste
Flag lighting, HVAC and plant loads running outside occupied hours, per building and system, the same night.
Hold contractors to SLAs
Open timed work orders against the responsible contractor, escalate overdue jobs, and record response and completion.
Benchmark the portfolio
Compare energy intensity and indoor conditions building against building, normalised for area, occupancy and weather.
/ Benefits by team /
Every team gets a different answer from the same record.
01
Facilities
Equipment reports its own condition, and the team works through exceptions.
02
Finance
Energy is attributable by site, system and period, and savings measured against a recorded baseline.
03
Sustainability
Reports draw on continuous metered consumption across water, power and gas.
04
IT
Different BMS brands are read over BACnet or Modbus into one naming model, read-only unless control is approved.
/ In practice /
Three moments from a working week.
Each one starts with a signal and ends with someone acting on it. The scenarios are illustrative.
The signal
The chilled-water delta-T on a Riyadh office tower’s main chiller narrows through a June afternoon.
- 1
The fault rule flags low delta-T and rising energy per tonne on that chiller.
- 2
A work order goes to the HVAC contractor with the trend and SLA timer.
- 3
The technician finds fouled tubes and schedules cleaning during low load.
The outcome
The chiller is fixed before the third floor calls to complain.
/ Technology /
Four layers. One record underneath.
Device-neutral at the bottom, open at the top, and sovereign all the way through.

/ What you measure /
The numbers this produces.
Measured continuously, per asset, per site and per contract.
Energy intensity
Energy consumed per square metre, per building and period, normalised for weather.
Out-of-hours load
Consumption outside occupied hours, by site and system.
Equipment faults open
Active equipment alarms by site, system and age.
Contractor SLA compliance
Jobs acknowledged and closed within agreed response and completion times.
Indoor environment compliance
Time each zone spends within temperature, humidity and CO₂ targets.
Complaint-led versus detected faults
Share of faults found by monitoring rather than reported by occupants.
/ Rollout /
Start with one decision. Scale what works.
- Phase 1
Survey buildings and systems
We review the portfolio, BMS brands, meters and FM contracts, and pick the buildings hardest to explain.
- Phase 2
Connect pilot buildings
BMS points, sub-meters and environment sensors are mapped into the portfolio model and the FM system.
- Phase 3
Prove detection before complaint
Fault and energy alerts run through contractor escalation, and the facilities team confirms they arrive before occupants call.
- Phase 4
Bring in the portfolio
Remaining buildings, utilities and contractors join the same model and benchmarks, a few buildings at a time.
