Facade Monitoring
Building façades are typically designed to meet predetermined standards and project-specific requirements, ensuring optimal building performance. However, traditional methods rely on theoretical calculations and initial testing, which do not account for real-world conditions or long-term performance degradation.
Over time, exposure to environmental factors causes façades to wear down, reducing their efficiency and potentially compromising safety, energy performance, and durability. Without continuous monitoring, these changes often go unnoticed until costly issues arise.
The façade monitoring system enables building owners and occupants to track real-time performance, allowing for proactive adjustments to mechanical systems. This helps optimize energy efficiency, prevent issues like condensation before they arise, and ensure long-term façade integrity
The Technology:
Our advanced façade monitoring system leverages cutting-edge, cellular-based sensor technology to provide real-time, 24/7 performance data. This allows for continuous tracking and comparison against published benchmarks and expected performance levels. By integrating remotely embedded monitoring, we help you detect issues early, optimize maintenance, and ensure your façade performs as intended throughout its lifespan.
The sensors measures and records various factors on the facade at regular intervals in order to allow for data analysis of the performance, including
1 : Incident Solar Radiation
2: Transmitted Solar Radiation
3: External Wind Pressure
4: Internal Cavity Wind Pressure
5: Air Leakage
6: Surface Temperature of Glass Outside
7: Surface Temperature of Glass Inside
8: Water (liquid) Present in Cavity
9: System Temperature
10: Internal Temperatures
Additional environmental factors that can be monitored:
• CO2
• Lighting
• Air movement
Anything we can measure, we can log it and analyse it.
