Thoughtful approach
VBoptimum takes you step by step through the process towards a smart, sustainable and future-proof building (portfolio). The digital copy lays the foundation for a Data driven decision making method to become sustainable.
Pre scan
Pre-scan aims to investigate the feasibility for smart control for a building. It looks at the building, the installations and the operation of the building management system. The result is a clear report with business case and plan of action.
Validation & monitoring 'VBvalidate'
Every project starts with a comprehensive validation. The goal is to get to know the building and validate the operation of the installations. For this purpose, the Digital Twin is set up and linked to the building management system. At this stage, only for reading.
24/7 Optimization with smart steering 'VBoptimize'
After the validation, we will activate the smart controls in consultation with the customer. First as a test, but often permanently right away. Algorithms predict the most optimal use of energy 24 hours in advance to achieve maximum comfort. The controls and predictions are visible in the portal and if necessary the system can always be switched off (which would rarely happen).
Data driven sustainable investments 'VBsimulate'
The Digital Twin is getting to know the building better and better. It provides a wealth of information for further sustainability. We can run simulations in which new installation concepts such as heat pumps, air handling units or insulation are calculated on a 24-hour basis. This allows you to make the right choices and gives you certainty when making investments.
BMS and energy control
With knowledge of installations and control technology, we remotely monitor controls, comfort and energy use. Together with the installer and client, we ensure optimal operation and consult periodically on management and improvements.
Utilization of Renewable Energy
Dynamic energy prices, solar panels, batteries and/or congestion challenges? Our algorithms steer the total energy system to the optimum. With comfort as a starting point, we provide the optimal balance between energy price, availability, storage and deployment. Most sustainable and cheapest.
Energy dashboards and control
Get insight into energy consumption, sustainability targets and CO2 profiles through dashboards and reports. Often useful as a first step and with a larger portfolio of buildings. Know where you stand with the property, which buildings are prioritized and what the roadmap to a sustainable building portfolio looks like.
What our clients say
This is exactly what I expect from a smart climate controller.
Colleagues working in the offices are convinced by the indoor climate and comfort level, on the other hand, the benefits of energy consumption become clear when making a comparison with other office buildings.
How cool that I get to experience this technology before I retire.
The ecoBuilding simulations showed us exactly which battery capacity type we had to use in combination with the available connection capacity.
The pilot demonstrated substantial energy savings of as much as 35%. We are very happy about that!
EcoBuilding is now running well and we are saving significantly. Thanks to VB Optimum, many optimisations have become visible that we didn't know about. Now we are steering the installation in a targeted way to optimal operation.
My climate system has become much easier to understand thanks to the insights and VB Optimum knowledge.
