Smart controls help commercial and institutional buildings reduce energy waste, improve occupant comfort, and simplify system management. These technologies allow facility managers to monitor and automate HVAC, lighting, and mechanical systems based on real-time data.
Smart control systems are one of the most impactful ways to reduce energy waste and automate building performance. Inovis helps you design and implement controls that are right for your space—and qualify for top-tier incentives.
Smart controls refer to systems that monitor, automate, and optimize building operations using data, sensors, and advanced logic. These systems go beyond manual switches and timers, providing real-time feedback and control based on occupancy, daylight, temperature, schedules, or even user behavior.
Common examples include:
Networked lighting control systems (Tier 1, 2, and 3)
Building automation systems (BAS)
Smart thermostats and scheduling platforms
Occupancy and daylight harvesting sensors
Remote monitoring dashboards
Advanced HVAC and lighting zone control
These solutions are central to any energy efficiency or decarbonization strategy—and they’re often eligible for enhanced utility incentives.
Key Benefits:
Cut lighting and HVAC energy use by 20–60%
Enable remote monitoring and proactive system management
Qualify for advanced utility incentives (e.g., Tier 3 controls)
Improve occupant comfort with automated control
Identify faults and inefficiencies in real time
Coordinate systems to avoid waste (e.g., lights on with no HVAC)
Support ESG tracking and grid-ready buildings
Offices, schools, healthcare facilities, municipal buildings, warehouses, and any facility looking to reduce energy waste or improve operational oversight.
Facility Assessment – Identify target systems (lighting, HVAC, plug load)
Solution Design – Define control strategy (zones, schedules, automation rules)
System Selection – Choose control platform(s) and sensor layout
Rebate Mapping – Match project to Tier 1, 2, or 3 utility incentives
Installation & Commissioning – Install devices and program logic
Training & Support – Train staff and support optimization over time
