The Challenges of Modern Building Management

The Challenges of Modern Building Management

1. Legislation Penalties

Are you ready for Net Zero by 2050? If not, you’re risking hefty fines and falling behind competitors. Europe’s new regulations demand energy monitoring in every building. Don’t wait—compliance isn’t optional.

2. Energy Waste

Your building is wasting 30% of its energy every day. That’s money straight into the bin. And with buildings responsible for 37% of global emissions, you’re not just losing cash—it is harming the planet. Why let it continue?

3. Poor Ventilation & Tenant Satisfaction

Poor air quality = unhappy tenants, drowsy employees, and lost productivity. A Harvard study proves it: bad air hurts performance. If you’re not fixing this, you’re losing business.

In addition we provide an API to your data so you can either pull data via API into your portal or you can access site data directly. No VPN and complicated setup.

Q: What types of data can Link Edge monitor?

A: Link Edge monitors energy consumption (electricity, water, gas), air quality (temperature, humidity, CO2 levels), occupancy, and more. Link Edge supports 3 main protocols used in Building Automation: BacNET, ModBus and LoRaWAN.

Q: Does Link Edge integrate with existing building management systems (BMS)?

A: Yes, Link Edge seamlessly integrates with existing BMS systems using protocols like Modbus and Bacnet, ensuring compatibility with your current infrastructure.

Q: Is Link Edge secure?

A: Absolutely. Link Edge uses state-of-the-art security measures as is built to sit on one of the most secure controllers on the planet the Siemens F200, including encrypted data transmission and regular security updates, to protect your data.

Q: How long does it take to install Link Edge?

A: Link Edge can be installed in just one day, even by non-experts, thanks to its intuitive setup process and wizard-driven interface. Please How a 15 year old installed Link Edge the Air Quality and Energy Monitoring System in just one daya 15 year old with one hour of training managed to install Link Edge alongside 50 air quality, energy monitoring and odour detector sensors.

Installation and Setup

Q: Can Link Edge be installed in multiple buildings?

A: Yes, Link Edge is highly scalable and can be deployed across single buildings or large portfolios with minimal effort.

Q: Do I need specialised skills to set up Link Edge?

A: No, Link Edge is designed for easy deployment. Basic IT literacy is sufficient, and we provide training to ensure a smooth setup.

Q: Can Link Edge help improve occupant satisfaction?

A: Yes, by monitoring and optimising air quality, temperature, and humidity, Link Edge creates healthier and more comfortable indoor environments, boosting occupant satisfaction. A study done by Harvard University states that poorly ventilated buildings are responsible for affecting employees’ cognition, productivity.

Compliance and ROI

Q: How does Link Edge help with Net Zero compliance?

A: Link Edge provides access to real-time data and on energy use, water and other resources + air quality, making it easy to meet Net Zero legislation requirements and avoid penalties.
