Use the Blockbax Platform to transform and combine sensor data and data from Build Management
Systems into an optimized user experience for your customers whilst lowering the running costs
of your building.
Own the Smart
Building opportunity!
Customers increasingly expect that real-time data is the main driver of processes like meeting
room occupancy, adjustments to the indoor climate and how / when maintenance and repair
processes are started. The associated KPIs are more and more a contractual obligation and the
best way to report on such KPIs is by providing objective data. The ability to provide data to a
variety to stakeholders is important in the context of a smart building.
As this is still a relatively new and rapidly evolving industry, we see companies focused on
technology and on making sure the individual building blocks of a smart building work. We
believe that over time, the availability of working sensors will become a commodity and that
Real Estate companies will not differentiate themselves on the fact that their buildings have
sensors installed but with how these sensors contribute to lower running costs and better user
experience.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic showed the importance of being able to quickly react and develop new
Smart Building applications, specifically now for allowing a gradual and safe return of staff to
their office building.
To be able to meet these demands, Real Estate companies therefore need to be able to quickly
integrate and combine data from sources like the Building Management System, smart lighting systems,
occupancy meters, outdoor and indoor climate sensors and sources related to preventive maintenance.
“Blockbax provides TBI with an easy to use interactive dashboard based on real time data from IoT. Blockbax’ No Code
approach allows us to collaborate closely with the business and quickly test new and promising applications. We use
the Blockbax Platform to scale the ones that are successful which allows us to stay ahead of our competition.”

Improve the building user experience
Use Blockbax to combine the right environmental conditions with services like room booking,
parking lot reservation and colleague finding will provide optimal conditions for your
staff, in a cost efficient way. Smart buildings make people more productive by continually
monitoring building use and adjust systems to ensure that occupants have the facilities and
work conditions that they need.
Predictive maintenance
Connect sensors that can detect building performance to Blockbax and activate maintenance
procedures in time to prevent equipment failure. Blockbax will provide accurate insights
that can be translated into insights and action items for inspection or maintenance teams.
Basing their activities on the actual condition of assets will boost their efficiency and
increase customer satisfaction.
Reduce energy consumption
The potential savings vary depending on what systems are use and different types of
buildings but there is an energy consumption savings potential in a building of around 5%
-35% by utilizing smart building technology. This translates into significant financial
savings, as well as a much more efficient and effective approach to meeting corporate
sustainability objectives.
Smart Building Use cases
Predict / prevent equipment failures
