Commercial properties
Commercial-property teams need to distinguish the building consuming energy from the operating condition requiring attention. A meter reading belongs to a specific source, while a ventilation alarm needs an identifiable site response. Smart Building Management gives Facilities Manager a shared view of those records without losing the separate evidence and decisions behind them.
How Smart Building Management is set up for you
Building context
Maintain the site name, location and timezone, then register meters with their unit and reading mode. Similar meter labels should remain distinguishable across properties.
Reviewed consumption
Energy Analyst prepares the source readings and derived periods. Energy Reviewer accepts eligible intervals after examining quality and boundaries.
Accountable response
Acknowledging an event records its actual start and assigns site work to an active responder. The event's resolution remains a separate operating decision.
Commercial-property teams need to distinguish the building consuming energy from the operating condition requiring attention. A meter reading belongs to a specific source, while a ventilation alarm needs an identifiable site response. Smart Building Management gives Facilities Manager a shared view of those records without losing the separate evidence and decisions behind them.
Choose a property with a known electricity meter and a building condition suitable for rehearsal. Confirm the site and meter identity, capture source readings and review a derived interval. Include a reset or overlap case so the energy team can explain why the reviewer accepts or rejects the quantity.
Record a ventilation event for a recognizable area of the building. Acknowledge it with the actual start and selected responder, then inspect the assigned task using that person's account. Complete the task under the agreed policy and separately resolve the event with its actual end.
If sensor evidence is part of the case, register the sensor against the intended operating record and check the saved observation against that sensor. Use the [implementation phases](/smart-building-management/implementation) to agree units, authority and source connections before extending the process to additional properties.
Features to start with
Sites and Meters
Identify each managed facility and the meters whose readings describe its energy use.
Energy Review and Tariffs
Validate the consumption interval and keep its site, unit and effective tariff context clear.
Energy Readings
Retain source values and quality flags, then derive consumption intervals with the meter's reading mode in view.
Roles on the team
- Facilities Manager
- Maintains site context, acknowledges operating events and coordinates the assigned response work.
- Energy Analyst
- Maintains meter and tariff context and captures readings for consumption review.
- Energy Reviewer
- Reviews source readings and derived intervals before accepting energy quantities for reporting.
- Site Operator
- Registers operating events and captures sensor registrations and observations through the agreed actions.
- Maintenance Technician
- Carries out assigned site work and records its progress and completion under the agreed task policy.
