Blue IoT

Cloud-based IoT platform for managing connected buildings and smart city portfolios.

About Blue IoT

Blue IoT is an innovative (that is, disruptive) smart cities vendor and integrator which has earned recognition for 'Encompass Blue’, the world's first cloud-based IoT platform suite to manage connected buildings and smart cities. Our approach follows the pattern of Greentech/Proptech, that is to say a 360-degree, systems thinking reappraisal of the current issues and hence what really matters to Buildings Owners and Asset Managers. This re-evaluation, incorporating knowledge and valuable experience across engineering and IT, has pushed Blue IoT to the forefront of sustainability innovation and early delivery of unequalled results. The case is proved - now we are demonstrating how effectively Blue IoT can add value to single buildings while also scaling to report across large buildings, large teams and large regional/global buildings portfolios. Blue IoT has been picked up quickly as a disruptive force for good, and was honoured Australian IoT Pioneer Award 2019 from the IoT Alliance (IOTA), the FM Industry Awards for Excellence 2019 for Industry Innovation by the Facilities Management Association Australia, and most recently the Global FM Highly Commended Award of Excellence 2020 from the Global Facilities Management Association. The awards recognised the key contribution of the role of Encompass Blue in managing seven 20-year old HVAC systems at an office building owned by the City of Greater Dandenong, delivering a 47% energy reduction. Since then, Blue IoT has progressed to deliver further efficiencies totalling 70% of total HVAC energy. Challenging times have acted as a catalyst for advancing smart cities, connected buildings and valuable hardware assets to optimise the wellness of people as well as the planet. Blue IoT was created to find an effective solution to the urgency for sustainability, offering solutions that preserve resources while simultaneously enhancing the human experience and moving quickly towards carbon net-zero. When Encompass Blue is implemented widely, we will automatically meet the global CO2 targets in short order - a target authorities are currently predicting to take a decade or more, could be achieved in a couple of years! Let that sink in - these are not small numbers, and it’s just the start. Encompass Blue is at the heart of our service - it delivers world-leading savings of up to 50% of total energy use, maintenance costs, and the related carbon footprint. Consolidating an array of functions, this state-of-the-art technology is designed for excellence in the cloud, IoT, interoperability, smart sensors & controllers, machine learning, predictive maintenance, and cybersecurity. Encompass Blue provides a broad, open platform for digital transformation in Facilities Management, infrastructure, buildings and smart cities. Although it can be self-managed, we offer a 24/7 eyes-on-glass PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) model, boosting your asset servicing team overnight with additional top-class mechanical and electrical engineers to iron out the wrinkles at the outset, trouble-shoot issues as they emerge and extend the life of your assets to the maximum. Stand-alone we work direct with facilities teams to manage assets and environments, for wider insights Encompass Blue is designed to plug in easily to other asset management tools. And all this will not only save you cash, the planet’s scarce resources and your team’s work-life balance, but the asset itself will become more valuable in the market. As Green Building standards emerge, preferential Green/Sustainable investment funding schemes are announced and the demand for energy-efficient buildings sees their valuations rise, Encompass Blue enables you to set up and provide reports to your board and investors, far more easily. The Encompass Blue Smart Cities platform suite consists of any combination of the following solutions: 1. Building Management System (BMS) 2. Building Energy Management System (BEMS) 3. IoT SCADA – Low latency services 4. Sub-metering (Electricity, Gas, Water) 5. Demand Management 6. DLP as a Service 7. Space utilisation 8. Indoor/Outdoor Environmental Monitoring 9.
