## What does building automation mean?

Building automation involves the use of technologies, systems and devices to control and optimise a building's functions, such as energy management, lighting, security, heating, ventilation and water systems.

The aim of automation is to improve the property's energy efficiency, reduce costs, improve living comfort and reduce environmental impact, while also increasing the value of the property, among other things.

## Property maintenance is not the place to cut costs

Today, property maintenance is much more than traditional servicing, as it also requires **process management and an understanding of automation**. Many properties still focus on making sure the sensor works, when what really matters is understanding the whole process and how it functions – for example, how air moves and how different conditions affect the building's temperature.

Short-term savings in property maintenance can **ruin the entire building** and cause a snowball effect: the building's value falls due to poor indoor air and indoor air problems, shareholders become dissatisfied and tenants move out.

## Our customers' experiences

## Get your property and its maintenance in shape with automation

Fortunately, we at Wirmax have a solution: a versatile building automation system that collects data on the property's conditions and makes adjustments automatically.

When the automation system tells you more about the conditions, you know more. In this case, knowledge doesn't bring sorrow – quite the opposite. You know exactly what condition the building is in.

Well-functioning automation keeps energy consumption, the property's energy efficiency, ventilation and temperature in order. Excessive ventilation is expensive and at worst can ruin a property, as can undersized or poorly functioning ventilation or an imbalance in the ventilation. This has not received attention in the past, because the imbalance has created overpressure inside the building and household moisture moves into the wall structures, leading to mould over time.

Investing in building automation pays off, because automation extends the property's service life, keeps living and working conditions good and also has a positive effect on employee productivity. In addition, energy efficiency and operating costs stay under control. By improving a property's automation, energy efficiency can be improved without compromising conditions.
