Comfort, Customization & Convergence Reach New Levels

Nevotek recently launched IPTComfort, an IP-based solution that combines an innovative application suite with existing building technologies to deliver a flexible and personalized building environment. With IPTComfort, building operators and users can customize their environment—including lighting, temperature, security, and building access—over an IP network. For building owners, that means lower operating and capital equipment costs, and eliminating redundant wiring systems. For users, an IP network provides the ultimate in comfort and customization, and puts the optimal building at their fingertips.

The Difference is IP

Many properties have building management systems that provide automated controls. However, IPTComfort is different—it integrates building management, back office, and communications systems over a single IP network, with centralized administration and control. Users and owners can manage every aspect of any building from an IP phone, cell phone, IPTV or standard Web browser. Unlike systems that only automate one component of a building environment with a discrete, standalone system, IPTComfort is IP-based and provides a flexible foundation for all services.

“We understand that most buildings come with existing systems and wiring,” says Arda Unsal General Manager at Nevotek. “At Nevotek, we integrate and improve upon this infrastructure, and provide a new level of convergence by leveraging the flexibility of an IP network.”

Software and Existing Wiring Deliver New Services

IPTComfort taps into existing building systems and provides new levels of customization, without additional wiring or adjustments. By using a software-based approach to delivering new services, IPTComfort allows buildings to adapt to the changing needs of the user on a daily or even hourly—basis.

For example, meeting rooms in office buildings become more functional—and cost efficient—by using IPTComfort to open and close window blinds, customize lighting, control AV systems, and monitor air temperature to accommodate attendants. In hotel rooms, TV volume is automatically lowered when the phone rings, blinds are opened at sunrise, and air conditioning can be turned off when the room is vacant, offering conveniences for guests and efficiencies for owners.  Building owners and operators can monitor and control of energy use and realize associated savings.

The examples are endless. The bottom line is that IPTComfort truly delivers on the concept of an intelligent building, with its flexible, integrated and IP-based approach.

Cut Costs, Increase Efficiencies

Properties ranging from hotels, to office buildings and hospitals can realize the cost saving benefits of an intelligent building. Owners and operators can cut electricity, gas and water bills, and conserve energy with more efficient building management. IPTComfort allows any location of a building to be adjusted and optimized without the need for rewiring or special equipment.

In addition, operators can reduce the resources required to run a building by providing remote access to building operations. For example, an unmanned reception area can be managed by an after hours employee, who can unlock the door from an IP phone within the building. Lights, heating and security can be managed from a remote location, via a standard cell phone or Web browser.

The Future of Building Automation

Nevotek is the market leader in IP convergence applications, and a strong player in building automation convergence. Industry watchers and analysts agree that convergence is the future for buildings, around the world. According to Frost and Sullivan, "IP technologies and the seamless integration with information technology tools could bring up and integrate islands of data from the many building automation systems, and present it to the infrastructure manager in a lucid manner, enabling faster decisions for mission-critical information.”
