Building Intelligence

Confido engineers Building Management Systems that connect HVAC plant, terminal equipment, metering, lighting, electrical services and compatible third-party systems within a coordinated operating environment.

For current Honeywell-based architectures, systems can be engineered around the Honeywell Optimizer Suite together with Niagara-based supervisory technology. The control architecture is developed around the requirements of the building: plant control, distributed I/O, communications, alarms, schedules, trends, graphics and integration are structured so operators have a clear view of how the facility is performing.

The objective is not simply to place multiple systems on one screen. Confido engineers the point structure, control sequences, communications and supervisory hierarchy so that information reaches the operator in a useful and maintainable form.

Confido designs HVAC control systems around the actual operating requirements of the mechanical plant—from individual air-handling equipment to coordinated chilled-water systems.

Control sequences can coordinate chillers, pumps, cooling towers, AHUs, FAHUs, FCUs, VAV applications, ventilation equipment, sensors, actuators and variable-frequency drives within the wider Building Management System.

For Honeywell-based projects, the Optimizer control architecture and associated I/O technologies can provide the plant-control layer, while Niagara-based supervision provides centralized monitoring, alarming, scheduling and operational visibility. The final controller and field-device selection is determined by the project requirements and locally available product range.

Confido engineers lighting-control systems for commercial, hospitality, residential and technical environments using open building-control technologies including KNX and DALI / DALI-2.

Honeywell DALI64 can provide addressable DALI-2 lighting control for luminaires, sensors, switches, groups and scenes, while KNX-based room controls can provide user interaction for lighting, shading and temperature functions.

Lighting can be coordinated with occupancy status, daylight conditions, schedules, scenes and building operating modes. Where required, the lighting system can also exchange information with the BMS so that lighting is part of the wider operating strategy rather than an isolated electrical subsystem.

Confido develops energy and electrical-monitoring architectures that provide structured visibility into consumption, demand and power-system performance across buildings and infrastructure.

Using Janitza measurement technology together with GridVis® software, electrical data can be collected from main incomers, distribution systems and selected loads, then organized into dashboards, trends, alarms and reports for engineering and facility-management teams.

Depending on the selected metering architecture, the system can extend beyond basic energy consumption to provide visibility into electrical parameters, loading, power quality, harmonics and residual-current conditions.

The purpose is to provide engineers and operators with reliable data for investigation, comparison and operational decision-making—not simply to collect meter readings.

Confido designs GRMS and home-automation systems around KNX and other open integration technologies, bringing lighting, climate, shading, access, intercom and compatible connected devices into a coordinated control environment.

The architecture is selected according to the project rather than forcing every function into a single proprietary ecosystem. Field-level KNX control, visualization platforms, HVAC gateways, IP communication and compatible smart-device technologies can be combined so that each subsystem performs its intended role while presenting a coherent experience to the user.
