The digital blanket® Sensors range includes sensors for desk and room occupancy, people counting, footfall tracking, environmental sensing (e.g., CO2, particulate matter, TVOC), and more.
db Sensors require regular software updates and maintenance to ensure optimal performance. The support team assists with installation, configuration, integration, and troubleshooting to ensure seamless operation.
DB Energy engine primarily consists of a neural network model, enhanced through another ensemble method to get the maximum benefit.
- The neural network model used in energi.ai is an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model that is one of the best machine learning model types to learn from multivariate time-series data.
- The other model in use is an Autoencoder which is essentially driven to detect anomalies from the KPI data received.
- While both the above models improve over time as they learn from the specific environment they are deployed at, the Autoencoder improves significantly over time.
- The models mentioned above deliver the primary feed for the actions and itS further strengthened by the Ensemble Method used to improve the accuracy of the output.
- Essentially, EUI expresses a building’s energy use as a function of its size or other characteristics. EUI is expressed as energy per square foot per year. It’s calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the building in one year by the total gross floor area of the building.
- Generally, a low EUI signifies good energy performance. However, certain property types will always use more energy than others.
- So, what really matters is the reduction of EUI and not the energy per se. Energy bills may vary based on changes in the unit cost. But EUI is a standard measure.
Yes, db Sensors incorporate robust security measures, including encrypted data transmission and compliance with industry-standard security protocols. Additionally, it is recommended to conduct regular VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) for enhanced security.
db AUTOmate’s policy engine enables advanced fault detection algorithms for both high-site and low side of HVAC systems, thus ensuring peak performance.
Yes, db Sensors are equipped with microcontrollers and RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) for real-time applications, and microprocessors with Linux OS for high-performance computation.
Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is normalized for weather, occupancy, production etc. and then used for performance benchmarking and comparison. Normalization removes the variances due to area, weather, occupancy, production etc.
db Sensors use advanced technologies like computer vision, TOF lidar sensing, and deep learning algorithms to ensure high accuracy in detecting occupancy and measuring environmental metrics.
db Sensors use privacy-respecting technologies, such as anonymizing data at the source and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations to address privacy concerns.
db Sensors are designed with APIs and middleware that facilitate seamless integration with most existing BMS, allowing for efficient data exchange and automation of building operations.
db Spazio enhances collaboration through the following in-built features:
- Collaboration groups: create your own circles and get notified when anyone from the circle is visiting office
- Colleague Finder: Look for colleagues who have reservations and find a seat nearby.
- Integration with Collaboration Tools: Add attendees to a meeting, send zoom/teams/meet invites for remote workers while scheduling a room, all in one app.
All these functionalities are aimed at improving team dynamics and productivity by reducing communication barriers and enabling real-time collaboration.
db Spazio has different in-office check-in mechanisms available after reservation is made. These include in-app check-in, QR code-based authentication, kiosk PIN or integrating with occupancy sensors. If the check-in is not completed within the prescribed time, the desk/room booking is cancelled automatically, and it becomes available for booking again.
db Spazio has an in-built check-in mechanism to track occupancy. This helps provide accurate utilization metrics. db Spazio software is designed to function off the shelf and can integrate with any hardware that provides data on the MQTT format for integration. digital blanket has a its own db sensor network for tracking occunpancy, footfall count and IAQ monitoring.
db AUTOmate is an integrated building management system that includes HVAC, MEP, ELV & IoT. It provides a unified command and control from a single interface, connecting multiple buildings and locations.
db AUTOmate supports Entity, Point, Location and Equipment classifications like the Brick Schema. db Schema lowers the cost of deploying analytics, energy efficiency measures and intelligent controls across buildings. It presents an integrated, cross-vendor representation of the multitude of subsystems in modern buildings: HVAC, lighting, fire, security and so on. The schema simplifies the development of smart analytics and control applications. It also reduces the reliance upon the non-standard, unstructured labels endemic to building management systems.
db AUTOmate is an Integrated Building Management solution that supports comprehensive monitoring and control of various HVAC / MEP / ELV / IoT systems from the web or Mobile console.
db Sensors are advanced edge computing devices designed to enhance workplace intelligence by providing real-time data on various environmental and occupancy metrics within office buildings.
db Spazio offers workplace scheduler, desk/room reservation, wayfinding, visitor scheduling, pantry ordering, feedback/survey, SOS alert, message broadcast as in-built workplace services. They are available as per the pricing pack definitions listed here.
Main use cases for db Sensors include desk and room occupancy monitoring, people counting, footfall tracking, janitorial alerts, occupancy-based lighting and HVAC control, comfort and hygiene monitoring, heat map analysis, and evacuation planning.
db Sensors support various communication protocols, including WiFi, ZigBee, PoE (Power over Ethernet), and MQTT for integration with any cloud application.
- All controls can be bypassed manually like in any normal CPM or IBMS.
- Checkboxes on db Software enable/ disable any of these controls. This delinks the AI-generated class labels from the action control subsystem and therefore the AI-generated labels trigger no actions on the end devices.
- Triggering individual system controls from the console. The actions on the various subsystems can be performed from the console in a semi-automated mode.
db Spazio is a comprehensive tool that manages various aspects of a hybrid workplace ranging from work preference scheduling, enabling collaboration, workspace reservation to occupancy tracking & utilization. db Spazio is designed to eliminate workplace frictions and make the office experience seamless.
The time required to fully implement db Spazio will depend on the complexity of the solution and the size of the organization. On average, for a 500-seater office, it can take between 2-3 weeks to fully implement db Spazio.
